I think the card games use very little memory, and they can probably share some code too, making them very memory efficient. I can remember back to the days of games on the Spectrum (Good ol' speccy with 48kB RAM, the T68 has 1024kB). We used to be able to get a pretty good bunch of card games for it. They worked on the 16kB version too. So how much memory does 4 card games take?
As for Tetris, the implementation on the T68 sucked. Yes, Tetris is cool, and I'd love to have it back, but kill the big, ugly, useless, boring battleships game first. Now there's a memory eater.
Anyway, I play Arimona all the time (why did they change the name from Arizona to Arimona? Copyright issue?), and the other one too. Unlike Snake (introduced with the 6110), Tetris, Game and Erix (rocks), you can play it when you can't give it your full attention, like waiting for the bus, standing on the bus etc. I bet 50% of my joystick count is from that game (~500 each game) |
