why not microcosm

turrican3 · 08 April 2007, 19:06

this game no need cdda,
and graphically it's an impressive game.
then why not???
But perhaps it's very hard to do ???

Sorry but i don't know if it's hard i'm not a programmer,someone can tell me.i just remember than it was hard by the past to make it run on my 1200

The game would need a stupid amount of RAM to preload.

In fact you probably couldn't get it to preload at all as it's over 300mb IIRC.

BippyM · 08 April 2007, 19:21

I suppose it is slaveable, but pre-load is a def no-no

turrican3 · 08 April 2007, 19:23

For sure and without preload, i suppose it will be unplayable???
too bad isn't it

killergorilla · 08 April 2007, 19:23

Which would probably make it unplayable as it'd be flashing almost constantly.

I don't think it's worth the investment anyway, the games is cack

turrican3 · 08 April 2007, 19:23

Preload perhaps with 1 giga ram

who cares? the game is crap anyway!

The whole "game" streams from the CD, its just a movie with sprite overlays. WHDing it makes no sense. Some sort of cd32 drive simulator would be more useful.

The movie file is cbmbuild, about 460Mb
The whole code/exe file is 240kb. WHDing it you would strip the move file, and then have the sprite overlay left for "playing".

Actually now that I think about it, the game would be perfect for WHDing. It can't get any duller, and with out the animations I might even be able to hit something. The intro would just be screenshots instead, that would improve the acting.

HH: I agree. I was shocked of the dullness. Got rid of the CD...

you ask why not?
I can answer that because the game is horrible and bored

anyways if you want play this game I recommend you to play the SEGA CD version because it's lots better than the cd32 version....you can download it at gametronik

bye

BippyM · 17 August 2007, 10:07

why is it better?

Huezo · 17 August 2007, 10:21

laser:
is it sega mega cd?
was it expansion for mega drive?
works with 1 or 2 or both?

'Cos I will get one MD sometimes.
Got a Ren&Stimpy Genesis game,
and Genesis->Mega Drive "key" AKA adaptor

laser · 17 August 2007, 10:22

bippym,

because the sega cd it have better gfx and it's faster (more fps)
also because the sega cd version it's the original one
the cd32 and pc versions were ports

bye

Microcosm only works if you have the expansion...named sega-mega-cd
the game is not available on cartridge

Laser excuse me but, for me the cd32 version is far away better (graphics)
the megacd has not enough color for this kind of game.

The pc version is crap, i agree with you.
