No doubt it's just a picture you look at and go "Vroom-vroom"

What are you talking about?? Did you even download it? The whole .exe is 97KB, make some effort to see for yourself :]

That is definately NOT a picture, I just dl'd it, played it through and completed it. One thing to say about it: IT OWNS! Only thing they need is to not have the plasma (Strange sand-timer ammo) respawn, I had 999 of it! also they need to get a more fancier hud and see how much they can push it towards 100kb, for 96kb it freaking owns, how the blazes did they do it!

I am downloading it right now but it dl's slowly...

I can't open it, it just says windows encountered an error opening the exe.

ooh, played this one almost a year ago, it's such a fun game!

Yeah this is pretty damn old. It was a bet among some random guys to see who could compress textures enough to keep the game as small as possible. The game is pretty much completely barebones with the absolute MINIMUM of coding, and thus has a lot of compatability issues (My guess at least, since I couldn't get it to work, and I've heard of a lot of others who couldn't either). Still quite a damn accomplishment, though I'm thinking this was abandoned or something since it really was like a year ago that I heard the guys who made this were going for 32k next. Maybe they're just still doing it.

EDIT: Also does the name and link not totally look like a virus?

did not work for me, as soon as I opened it I got the "Send to windows" error. boo for me i guess.

The guy/guys who made this usually hangs out at Gamingw and he's been posting some screens of a new version. He actually doesn't use compression. Instead, the game uses procedural generation. Basically, the textures you see are saved via their histories so what you see onscreen is only created when it's needed and only then.

Basically, the game builds itself from scratch as you play via being created entirely from the get-go. Unreal Tournament 2k4 uses the same method. He said if he didn't use this, the one level game would have been about 300mb.

And yea, this is pretty old.

April 2004?

Yea.

procedural generation. Thats how they are making the game Spore.
It essentially is 100% "10001010110010011" type coding, and not "data". Thats how they keep it small.
I believe that is how they used to make games...
I could be wrong though.

I loved this when I played it, and was amazed with how well it actually played being less than 1mb in size.

 

[Shifter]

I played this years ago..amazing though.

 

[Elijah von Bose]

It does not work for me... and yes. No doubt my computer is crawling with thousands of Viruses now

 

[linkz0r]

how can i open and play it? -_-

 

[Sketch]

Download it. Extract it. Double Click the .exe

Seems to work just fine on a windows XP Pro system.

 

[linkz0r]

I woudn´t ask for a way to open if i haven´t tried the obvious... And indeed...

did not work for me, as soon as I opened it I got the "Send to windows" error. boo for me i guess.

See the point now?

 

[ModMatarael]

i dunno why, but the exe shows up on my vista system as only 95 kb. still, imagine what they could make with just one mb.

 

[Prexus]

The game is only 95-97kb (depending on how your system decides to round.)

About the equivalent of Half-Life. :D
