You been putting movies on that thing too? ..My 16GB iPhone is around 3/4 full, even with a couple of movies. I'd like to move up to a 32GB device eventually, then I don't think space will ever be an issue for me. 500MB sounds about right for this game. It was one of those early CD-ROM games that was really utilising the space of the media to be what it was, ie: an adventure where every view was a lavish (at the time) fully rendered scene. I wonder if they use lossy compression like JPEG to really scrunch the scenes down? ..I'm kinda curious to see how this game looks on the iPhone. Yer 8GB is full already?

When Myst was first introduced, it was quite original, and set a standard for point and click graphic adventures. To be honet, I actually got bored with it about a quarter of the way through, so it won't be a download for me. On the other hand, newcomers may enjoy it as it seems like the kind of title that will lend it self quite well to the ipod/touch. Speaking of graphic adventures - the Broken Sword series would be heaven on this platform. Now that's a graphic adventure! I too agree.

Although I kind of regret playing it two months ago now. Maybe I'll hold off until I forget about the puzzles a little bit more haha. I can't wait for Myst!
