Thanks for sharing! I can't wait for hi-res to come out too!

This game is amazing. I can't wait for the new version to come out. It would be great to see an OS5 version as well, but I'll take what they give. :D

[mashoutposse]

Excellent game! Really controls well with the Game Controller, too.

Has anyone figured out if you can install the race database on a card normally or do you have to use something like PowerRun?

[Massman82]

An OS 5 version? It already works on my NX60!

[OcellNuri]

Yea, it works great on my NX70V. When I said OS5 version, I ment a version with Armlets in it. Much like the OS5 version of Master Thief.

[Massman82]

I think it already uses some ARMlets. Astraware just doesn't write about that.

Many of their games including Bejeweled use ARMlets. (Be warned, I am not 100% sure if this is true!)

[mashoutposse]

I've already loaded the game onto my MS using PowerRUN; works like a charm!

Does anyone use the buttons?

I never even tried them. I can't imagine trying this without the analog control (which is silky smooth).

With the T series (I have a 665C), I try to avoid button control whenever possible anyway, but was wondering if anyone is using the buttons.

Great game - BTW :)

[hacthesac10]

I too have a T665 and just tried it with the buttons. Although harder then grafitti, I could definetly get used to it. I think it's one of the few games I could feel comfortable using with the buttons.

[mashoutposse]

I'm using the Game Controller, which is basically the same as using the buttons (digital input). It's excellent, and really does offer the promised home console feel. It's like Mario Kart with actual cars.

Works well on the NX:) Double speed is too fast of a setting for me.

I think this is the best game I've ever seen on the Palm OS.

Kick @$$ job Astraware!

I agree! Astraware is the SH*t when it comes to gaming design, and they stand behind there apps, including adding sound going Hi-Res with about every game made. And the other great thing, they run on ALL PALM OS platforms!! GO ASTRAWARE!!

:)

I still want a hi-res version of Zap2016!. I love GTS Racing though. Great game!!

Too bad they don't design most (including many of their best) games they have for palm. Many of the games from astraware are ports of PC or internet games. games like bejewelled, insaquarium, dynomite, seven seas, etc are flash games licensed from Popcap Games and available here (http://www.popcap.com/). If you look here (http://www.astraware.com/links.php) and scroll down to Licensor websites, you will find links for most of the games. They do do an incredible job making them work well and look good on the palm and I think they have a really good strategy of licensing already well made games.

Whoa! I never realized that at all? I did see that made a few games, like Zap!, but beBejeweled isn't there's. :p

I agree - this game rocks! I only wish it had IR racing like my beloved racefever. One other thing that is better than RF (which RF really should have had an option for turing off) is that your car doesn't flip when it hits another at high speed, but just slows down.

[Massman82]

If you have a feature suggestion for this game I would either post it on their board or email one of the developers...They listen! :)

[NJL!2016]

I'd like to see a brightness control and more cars on the next version.

[deeps]

Heh... I had only been playing with the buttons doh!

Much easier to control with graffiti :rolleyes:
