I get to relive the joy of playing this at the computer when I was in grade school. I had nothing at home, so this was one heck of a treat. Shame that you can't get the old school graphics as well.

I know they made 'improvements,' but that's a lotta space to devote to a casual title. Dazarath Well-Known Member Mar 21, 2010 1,745 0 36 #12 Dazarath, Sep 27, 2011 While I agree that 1gb seems really ****ing huge for a game of this caliber, I don't think we should complain too much considering it's still a decent freebie. Plus, we always have the option of playing it for awhile, and then deleting it to clear space. syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #13 syntheticvoid, Sep 27, 2011 still being modified... =oP But damn, my kids are gonna love this.

I have no space on my iPod for this... :/ oooooomonkey Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 6,307 0 0 Forge World #15 oooooomonkey, Sep 27, 2011 Yeah I bought this a while back but have since deleted it, there's just nothing in the game to explain the size (if I remember right it was 1.2gig) personally I'd prefer crappy graphics and an app thats less than 100mg but it is gameloft so we will never see that. I don't download gameloft titles anymore as they are all huge. Dazarath Well-Known Member Mar 21, 2010 1,745 0 36 #16 Dazarath, Sep 27, 2011 Oh, judging by the iTunes reviews, I'm guessing the main reason why this went free is because they added some IAPs to it (pretty hefty ones too at $3/10/15). drelbs Well-Known Member Jun 25, 2009 11,200 7 38 #17 drelbs, Sep 27, 2011 Yes, I'm guessing that "FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME" == FREEMIUM in this case... Sin City Well-Known Member Sep 5, 2011 112 0 0 #18 Sin City, Sep 27, 2011 This item is being modified and will not allow a download. The IAP inclusion sounds like the reason for the free pricing to me, even though an upcoming expansion or add on is their excuse... LawLessLove Well-Known Member Nov 18, 2010 500 0 0 #19 LawLessLove, Sep 27, 2011 Those have always been there. It's free because a sequal is being released soon. It is now free in the US. Coldar Well-Known Member Dec 26, 2008 2,458 5 38 Upstate NY/USA #20 Coldar, Sep 28, 2011 Wow, after all this time its free. Remembered when this first came out and that it was a well noted game back then. Guess I'll finally find out why. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
