[Coco] Anyone still play text adventure games?

No limitations on the SuperIDE, you could place a 16GB CF or what ever size you have.

Agent C will most likely be a 1GB adventure game with sound, speech, 
music, and lots of characters, some of which I will accept from the 
community.  The plan is to make one .img file that will boot up when 
the CoCo is turned on when inserted as a MicroSD card in my Drive 
Pak, or a CF card from Cloud-9's SuperIDE pak.  The question is, 
what's the maximum size CF card the SuperIDE can use?  I'll base my 
design on these limitations.

With 1GB or even 512MB, I'll stretch my feet out and make some 
seriously fun stuff happen - something good enough to hold the 
attention of a 43 year old dad like myself, or even older CoCoNuts.

If anyone wants to work on submitting a sprite character for Agent C, 
get with me and I'll give you the easy details.  You can take some 
templates and do the face, tweak the hair, ears, limbs, etc. if you want.
