Did you?

[Guest Confucious]

Of course! :) Everything was at the meet and it was great chatting to the guys at Astraware.

It does look rather good!

[Guest Shuflie]

Would love to have gone, but living in Belfast makes it a bit difficult to get there.

[Guest Confucious]

What sort of a feeble excuse is that ? ;)

You missed the best meet yet - so you don't get the Ltd edition Modaco C600 like all those who attended did :)

[Guest Shuflie]

Would have liked one of those too, but only if it can be unlocked to T-mobile. If there were any left over how about a prize draw for those of us unlucky enough to not to be able to get to the meet?

EDIT: This is getting very off topic, just to get it back on the right tracks would you recommend getting Broken Sword?

Leftover? surely thou jests!

Would I recommend Broken Sword? If you like that sort of adventure game then an unequivocable yes! They have done an excelent job of reproducing the orriginal and then compressing it to a useable size (can't remember if he said 140 or 180Mb)

for the full game it will be 116mb big so its small enough to fit on a 128mb card :)

[Guest Confucious]

as opposed to the 600mb plus of the original game. They've done a cracking job1

[Guest futaris]

Yeah, but you can run this through ScummVM on Windows Mobile if you've got the data files, you know...

[Guest Confucious]

Yes, we know that - and it's a pain isn't it? How big are the files?

This is the full game that runs with no problems and fits in 128Meg card.

I can't be bothered with ScummVM, if you can and have legal data files then great, I don't.
