: OK, I've had a chance to use GraphicConverter's batch processing to convert
: these to JPEG's with a 50% compression factor. Zipped (for the benefit of
: our PC readership), the complete package is now only 9.2 MB. I've tried
: these out and, frankly, find no major difference in performance or
: appearance when compaired to the original PNG's. And I only have the crapp
: 8MB ATI graphics card that came in the original PB G4's. There are
: definitely times when the frame rate drops to near zero, particuarly when
: loading additional textures, but this is generally brief and otherwise the
: game is fully playable, even with such pathetic hardware.
50% looks pretty bad on most images I've seen, but it might work out on these.
Also, it can't possibly be 8MB.... I have an 8MB Rage 128 in my old iBook and it can't even load the landscape texture in unless I set it to scale it down to halfsize.
