I would be interested in something like that. Although I would use it for
diskette based game. Just now a Flic played as a game intro takes up way too
much room to use for anything else in the game other than the intro. I
certainly can see a real use for someting like this, but not just for CD-ROM –
but for disk based games. The CD-Rom market still has a lot of "shovelware" and
the percentage of gamers who have a CD-ROM driver is still under 50% of the
market. Also many games that CD-ROM only cause a lot of install problems either
due to the Video, AUdio etc. or both. Many gamers do complain at the slowness
of CD-ROM for any sort of action type game.
But I am working on a game now, and would like to use quite a few Flic, but
hesitate because of the size of them. So I would be very interested in hearing
more about what you are doing.
