karch Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Hey there. I was just curious of the exact reason for the different CDs. If the Mac and Windows versions use the exact folders full of textures, there are ways for a hybrid Mac/Win CD where both versions use the same data, ie, BMPs. Are the sound files identical too? Or do they use different sound files, that could be enough to kill the hybrid CD if they use different files and they wouldn't fit on the CD. If they use the same sound folder and BMP folders, you could probably get both versions on one CD. Upside of hybrid CDs: Only one CD to burn and distribute, less inventory to order and manage Those of us with Macs at home and Win at work can play both places Downside of hybrid CDs: Can't track mac/win sales couldn't sell CDs to CDV territory because it would have PC app Any word or any other thoughts from those of us that don't have the game yet?

kmead Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 701.4 mb on disk. Need I say more? That was for a Mac only disk. Total install is over 1.17gb. Nearly 8000 files. It took an hour to install. Very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappy Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I understand the space issue, but the dual CD was really one of the greatest things about CMBO for me. I am a dual platform user (Mac desktop, PC laptop) and appreciated not having to shell out twice for the same game for once. Any word on the chances for a discounted Mac version for PC buyers?
