Ancient Evil 1.0 Release

just downloaded and installed Ancient Evil 1.0 VGA for my x50v...

could you believe that it took about 20 minutes for the game to install to my device? i installed it to a high-speed SD card, and it takes about 50.14MB of space...

what a HUGE GAME!!!

not only that - upon playing the game (just level 1 to try things out) - i realized that my Storage/Program Memory Allocation has been changed. i usually have 43MB allocated as Program Memory, but after playing the game - it jumped to at least 47MB

really HUNGRY GAME!!!

... hhhmmm... im wondering what would happen if there arent enough Program Memory to allocate - would the game just crash? or, would it be unplayable?

Posted this on my blog yesterday (but you all knew this)
It is quite a large game and is not as playable on the earlier devices but it is a brilliant game with lots of attention to detail

The game only took about 5 minutes to install on my device (also X50v).

Also, I usually have about 31MB about free program memory and it's never jumped up after playing this game.

It's a great game! I've made it down to level 5 so far...

Does anyone know how much Ram you need to run the VGA version? Both Vga Arm, and Cab crashed my Axim so I am currently using the Regular version to play
But it is a great game so far

I think I read something about 16 MB of free program memory for VGA devices. It runs on my Axim (but I have 37 MB free...). The program gives me enough trouble though with crashes and freezes, up to the point where I can't turn the device back on after I played AE. I have to initiate a hard reset (and then choose not to erase all data) to get the device back up and running, anything else won't wake it up...weird.
