    Mario stopped by to let us know about <b><a href="http://lambdarogue.net" target="blank">LambdaRogue 1.5</a></b>.
    <br>
    <blockquote>* graphical mode now in 800x600, 1024x768 and optimized for netbooks

    <br>
    * improved interface with configurable quickbar and new minimap
    <br>
    * lots of bug fixes, including the bug that caused LambdaRogue 1.4 to crash after ~ 3 hours. LambdaRogue 1.5 does not consume all your memory anymore wink

    <br>
    * a new, separate, dungeon

    I don't get it. Is 20 meg too much? Stressing out your 386?

    Don't be a retard, SerratedBiz. He might be playing it on a netbook or a cell phone or whatever and those don't have HD-space in same amounts that desk/laptops have.

    I don't really get what's the problem with 20 MB. -- Too much, too less, wtf?

    "optimized for netbooks" refers to an optional 1024x600 mode. Besides, I regularly play Sins of a Solar Empire, Morrowind, GTA and some other older 3D titles on _my_ netbook -- a ROGUELIKE with almost no graphics at all is surely not a problem ;)

    What? Did we jump back 20 years all of a sudden that now we're having trouble fitting 20megs into our floppy disks?

    Even stoneage netbooks and cellphones carry like 1 gig hard drives, and if you're whining about ANYTHING that's 20megs maybe you should stop buying computers for pussies. Or trying to run games in them, for that matter.

    This version is vastly different from what I remember. It's looking good. :shock:
