as its on 2 disks and we say each is 630mb (630 x 2 = 1260mb) each floppy
can only hold 1.44 mb so 1260/1.44=875, it was bad enough loading win95 from
30, let alone a game with 875, and seeing as they can press a cd in seconds,
it is cheaper to make(might cut down on pirating though)

I'm not surprised. The game comes on 2 cd-rom's, and probably takes up over
800MBytes on my hard drive - that's a lot of floppies.

Sorry to tell you but this game is not sold in a commodore 64 version.

Hey Kojak2002. Who loves ya baby. Stop sucking for a minute and listen up.
I got a (verrr niice) Televideo TPCII available. Features 16 bit 8088 cpu
running at 5 MHz (that make you grin and nod eh? - just grin and nod with me
for a minute) with 256 KB of on board memory (upgradable to 640) plus 80x24
text mode and a single 8 bit expansion slot. Verrr smooth machine. Just
what you need. Want it? Let me know. Be quick.

The Count

You carry on sucking now.
