This game, in precalculated 3D, alternates 'shooting' and 'race against time' sequences. GrafXs are superb compared to more traditional products. The hardware requirements are: PPC QVGA device, Memory card with 70MB of free space (high speed cards recommended), 400MHZ+ processor (higher recommended) A demo will be released at the same time."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/salgado_3dstarracer.gif" /><br /><br />If you recall and enjoyed an old PC game called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MegaRace"><i>MegaRace</i></a> with the obnoxious Lance Boyle, then this type of game should be a real treat on the Pocket PC. Of course, if you can't afford the staggering 70MB of memory card space, perhaps you'll finally give yourself a reason to get a memory card (or a second one). Could you look forward to large games that have cinematic features or pre-rendered backgrounds like this one?

Unfortunately, IMHO, precalculated "3D" games can be pretty weak. I wish developers concentrated on real 3D stuff (rpreferably with 2700g support - there are still very few of them (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&amp;p=661&amp;more=1&amp;c=1&amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1)).

Even :traditional" 2D games can be much more fun than precalculated 3D games; see for example Enslave, which really rocks.
