This (www.daedalus3d.com/) is one kick but game. The demo is very good. Here are some screenshots.>

The technical quality, the detailed graphics and the performances similar to those obtained on a latest-generation PC, makes Daedalus 3D the most innovative and fascinating game actually available for the Palm OS handheld platform. Until now, it was impossible to achieve these performance and graphics on a small device, but now this is reality and all the rest appears prehistory! Daedalus 3D was developed for all devices running Palm OS 5 or better and gain an incredible appearance when installed on devices with 480x320 display (16:9), like the Sony Clié UX series and the wonderful game console Zodiac of Tapwave. Also, see it running on a PalmOne Tungsten T/T2 or Tungsten T3 device and you'll understand why we can affirm that... All the rest is "prehistory! ".

Enjoy

The demo available is very cool, takes up about 3.8M once installed, works well on my T3 so far, unfortuately only 320x320 support.....

It is a very nice game and definitely ground breaking for the Palm gaming experience. However, I was a "little" surprised that installing the demo would initiate an install of over 175 files in my T3 weighing in at close to 4 MB. Why so many files i wonder thought the original install was just 2 files. Makes putting this in card inconvenient if you use ZL's programme/database transfer.

Have you tried using ZL to put it to the card yet, I was going to but not sure I wanted to test ZL's ability to push the 175 files to the card, seeing as that's the first app I've ever seen that has so many files associated with it...

I guess what I'm curious about is why the lack of support for landscape on the T3??, Although it's very cool,( kinda remind me of Doom) , though @ aprox. $30 and no landscape support I will have to think about it...

I am using the latest ZL Beta and 175 files are moved to card with a shortcut.

No problems, just takes a little bit longer than normal.

174 pdb's

and

1 prc

Why so many?

The Full Version is now available and I must say it Rocks. The spiders kick my butt.

This is the game I have been waiting for.

[matrix42]

Any word on T3 landscape support, or is it only going to be supportted on the UX and Zodiac

[LaStigmata]

I am sure they are working on it. I think right now they are concentrating on getting the Zodiac version released.

Out of interest what key selections do you find the best configuration to run this on the T3?

Thanks

I use the lower left button for fire and the upper left for jump and the stylus to get around. (it was a little tricky getting use to but I found it a lot better than trying to use the buttons)

On the demo that I've downloaded, when I press the HOME button to go back to my launcher, it ... doesnt' work. doesn't do anything, but doesn't work either. Neither does the MENU button on my T3 status bar.

In order to leave the game, I had to do a soft reset.

Has anyone else had that issue? How did you get around it? The graphics were nice, I hate the control input (lower left for fire, upper left to jump, and stylus to move around),.. but I'd like to see more developemnt on this game. It's initial demo is still pretty awesome, despite these issues.

[LaStigmata]

Ok, all buttons including the power button are disabled during game play. There should be a small green arrow at the bottom of the screen on the right. Tap that and it will exit the game back to the main menu and then buttons will be restored. You can also configure the any button for any command. You can use the 5 way nave button for getting around if you like but what I said before works for me.

Also added a few more screen shots of later on in the game>

It's to do with the copy protection and to make updates easier.

I will be posting a full in depth review of the full version in the next few days...
