Larseze Posted May 18, 2000 Share Posted May 18, 2000 I currently am in between internet connections, but will be downloading the demo, burning it to a CD, and installing it at home very shortly. However, I do have access to the internet at school. Would it be possible to play PBEM? Can I play my turn at home, zip up the save file, bring it to school, and send it off from here? And do the same receiving files?(how big are they?) Can't wait to play this game. ------------------ Larseze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaffertape Posted May 18, 2000 Share Posted May 18, 2000 I'm really new to PBEM, but from what I've discovered (today) is that the turn files are very small (17 - 19k) and can easily be sent from other locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take a long time through a 33.6k connection, but it is worth it. ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captitalistdoginchina Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Hi, Currently i am doing the same thing, i play PBEM with a friend in the USA, so i often receive his file while i am at work whilst the game is installed on my PC at home. Therefore i save the file onto floppy and carry it home with me. Some times i just forward the message and file back to myself (same e-mail address) just when i am leaving the office then log off and shut down immmediately. Then when i get home i retreive my own message again. Simple eh? Just remember to use the "Savce As" command. I also tried Hotmail but i was unable to save the attachment??? It never did work so i used the method above. CDIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlichtingen Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 In Valley of Trouble (not a spoiler) the files can creep up to close to 600k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
