OT: in response to your .sig: I love my Treo 90 as well! It is far and away better than the five other Palm OS devices I have had...

Cheers!

Pretty good about sums it up. Personally I'm not going to register this until we see what Worms World Party turns out like (which is due for release 'soon' apparently).

My major probmlem with this game is the lood / save time. When you start or leave the game (you know, to check your Too list etc) it takes about 10 seconds to load and 6 seconds to save before exiting.

This game in high res, with multiplayer over bluetooth on OS 5 .... yum

Shame it currently doesn't handle OS5 all that well. I ran it in the simulator and it freaked out... displayed multiple smaller images of the screen in the corners... completely unusable.

Now is the time to get new apps running under OS5 - before there are heaps of devices on the market.


Cheers,

It also doesn't play well on the hi-res Sony devices... These days, any new game, if it doesn't support hi-res, should at least open the Sony Hi-Res library and explicitly switch to 160x160 mode so that users' don't have to fiddle with the HiRes pref panel.

 Won't play on a Treo 90...
NocTurnerV @ 10/19/2002 1:22:43 PM #

Anyone else using a Treo have problems with this device? I've tried it a few times now, and all I get is a "Memory Lack" message, which then encourages me to disable any hacks or resident programs to clear up memory.

I don't have any hacks installed. I've got 8.3mb of RAM free on the device. I don't see the problem, personally. Does anyone have any insight?
