My kids (and I'm extrapolating to other kids) love the graphics of Cyanide. And don't underestimate the appeal of playing one-player, even against rubbish AI. Lots of perfectly sensible people I know spend a surprising amount of time doing that. |

So true.  |

It was cassette tapes for my Vic 20! Then Commodore 64 (Also tapes). Before that I seem to remember Atari and cartridges. |

Not cartridges for the Vic 20? The Count, text adventure game? <off-topic> |

Yeah, a double sized client for example and you can just about get away with fairly advanced gameboy sprites. 2.5 to 3 times bigger would be perfect.
However, the problem is working on sprites/icons that big to gameboy standard. They would take much much longer, and fewer people would be able to work on them. |

Fumbbl for IPad would be pretty cool.
Problem is Christer probably couldn't sell it, so is it worth putting the effort in? |

It'll come eventually
Not as an app though, I guess. |

If I give it a try, I'll wait about 2 years after launch. From what I've seen the game will be very vanilla at launch, with lots of DLC to follow. Funk dat. Also I don't trust them with bugs etc. Definitely a wait and see type of game at best. |

There is no doubt that cyanide brings in new coaches, but any one here should know better than to buy such a flawed product on release. Giving it a try when it is 75% off or something... whatever floats your boat. But full price?... |

Pigskin 621ad (circa1990), is a much better game than Cyanide.
