3D Star Racer To Be Released May 1st
"BlazeDev will disclose '3D Star Racer' for the 1st of May 2006. 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."
If you recall and enjoyed an old PC game called MegaRace 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).
Even :traditional" 2D games can be much more fun than precalculated 3D games; see for example Enslave, which really rocks.
