FRACT (IGF finalist)
Gonna give this a new thread. As, just, wow...
For anyone who loves the Darwinia aesthetics (neon polygon worlds!) and electronic music, this is an absolute must.

An adventure game that is reminiscent of Myst, but please don't let that put you off! Most of the puzzles are easy and rely primarily upon exploration in the beautiful visual and sound scapes.
No save function currently. Can be beaten though. I'm just having fun with the music sequencer in the second section...

Since we have 1To+ hard disks :lol:
It isn't a question of storage space (at least, not in this context). It is a question of how long it takes to copy a file across the interwebs. I recognize that broadband changes the equation a bit, but most of the US isn't really that fast by first world standards. Until I can get better than 700 kb/s, 100 MB is a monster file.
Now, having download the file and tried it out: it runs very poorly, even at 640x480 at the lowest graphics setting. I really need a new machine. :(

But in comparison of other files, 100Mo is quite small. Depends how you look at it.
Mo and To? Silly French notation. Megabytes (MB), megabits (Mb), mebibytes (MiB), and terabytes (TB) all the way. :P
