If you have a 64 MB system and want to try it, let me know.

I thought it was an old DOS game using 4 or 8 megs max. I wonder if it really take more memory under SDL port.

Post by: ThC on August 05, 2004, 03:29:01 am: as being a keyboard + mouse game, it makes more sense to me running on a clamshell zaurus than on another one ... warcraft use keyboard and mouse and is fully playable ... doom use keyboard only and is fully playable too ... of course it won't be easy to play in the street one hand on the keyboard and the other on the touchscreen but WHY NOT ? you still can play with your zaurus on the table or whatever ... I'd be interrested in trying this port when my zaurus will come back from Japan
