Haven't downloaded it yet. Isn't it from the same german guys who made some kind of 5-6 minutes long 3D animation clip with decent music that was only 64K? That was pretty amazing, graphics were certainly as good as Quake I. BTW they were also naming it 'The Product'. I should still have it somewhere, I will post it if I find it back.



The only negative point was that it had been originally posted by DeeZCamp but Hey!, nothing's perfect! ;)

96k is smaller than a rough jpeg. Hail, my avatar is probably bigger.

My guess - that web page went live on April 1st, only to be discovered today, or something like that.

"Isn't it from the same german guys who made some kind of 5-6 minutes long 3D animation clip with decent music that was only 64K? That was pretty amazing, graphics were certainly as good as Quake I."

.... and deSelys was part of the gag. :)

hey fellas......it works on my laptop so I wouldn't say it's a fake.
The game is pretty jerky but it does work.

Same here acid.  Very choppy, but it does work.

One thing caught my attention... 96kb for this game, but the "load" screen took forever.  Was it downloading the rest from elsewhere?

That's incredible! I wouldn't have believed it possible without seeing it. Good find Casca.

more likely it's the same as the tiny zipped file dezipping into a false 3d image of a few gigs, just well exploited algorithms etc.

No gag fellows, I know I still have the other file somewhere. Read the Readme in the zip file, they explain how they can compress the textures so much.

FOUND IT!



It was on another page of their website DOH!


here is the link:

The product (http://www.theproduct.de/fr08_final.zip)


Now for the 'non-believers', you make sure that you disconnect from internet BEFORE you run it. It takes a little while to write itself on your HD (as a matter of fact, the .exe is a program writing a program...), then you enjoy it. It runs on a P600 with 128MB ram and a S3 vid card so....

Those guys are a-ok! :aok
