  • That’s true, but the way they cut up the larger map environments into smaller ones to fit it in the DS’ smaller ram and the DS’ poorer touch screen sensitivity really made the game significantly worse, if not unplayable to an extent. I don’t think I ever finished it because it needed me to draw something and the game just wouldn’t recognize the shape I drew as correct because of the awful touchscreen. It was basically soft-locked.

    The lazy and poor plot was bad enough on its own but the technical problems I encountered were so bad the game was basically unplayable.




  • You don’t even need instructions on betting, betting or wagering is something that people can figure out on their own quite easily, the behavior is often demonstrated in real life in other non-gambling scenarios “I bet ya can’t climb that tree”, so if we assume a game about playing cards can be considered gambling, than the assumption that Playing cards themselves would also be considered gambling materials seems plausible, but it is meant to highlight the absurdity of the situation.











  • Yeah I do remember those things, it was a cool idea, slightly janky at the time and their expectation for others to develop games natively for linux was a bit too bold, but it was very good for what it was. I will say that what we have with the Steam Deck and even unofficial Steam OS is way better in every way imaginable though. I imagine if Valve released Steam Consoles now, they’d be a smash hit, because as it is, there isn’t very much out there for people who are looking to get into PC gaming on a budget, and Living room gaming on PC is fiddly and clunky. SteamOS and Steam machines solve both of those problems.
