Crimson Fields: strategy game for Palm
The lovers of strategy games surely know the legendary saga Battle Isle, the company BlueByte. His mix of strategy and tactics, with a good story and some amazing graphics for the season, made the first delivery, launched in 1991, a classic. It was subsequently launched Battle Isle 2 (2200), in 1993 and Battle Isle 3 (Shadow of the Emperor) in 1997 to finally make the jump to 3D game with Incubation.
This saga has a large number of fans, and proof of this is the emergence of Crimson Fields, an engine released under GPL, and versions for Windows, Linux and Mac, which allows play to the Battle Isle if we have the original files , Adding some enhanced graphics that take advantage of the capabilities of most computers today. And here is where the issue becomes interesting for users of a Palm since Metaviewsoft Crimson Fields has ported to Palm.
The graphic aspect is very good
Effects, is available version of Crimson Fields for Palm, also with GPL and free download. Need Palmer 5 (ie, an ARM processor) and 4Mb of memory dynamic free to operate. It supports multiple resolutions and can play both loose screens as the story mode, in addition to save and salvage the game.
Keeping the stylus pressed obtain information of the object
When you start the program, the option appears to associate with the stylus to tap "right-click (RMB)", and maintain the stylus pressed a moment to "click Left (LMB)" (remember that is a direct port version PC). I recommend activating these two options before playing, or you can not interact with the programme and will have to do a soft reset!.
We must activate these two checkboxes
To learn how to use this program, on page Crimson Fields can find all documentation, with the manual program, tactics, a summary of the history, a tutorial to make our own maps, and explanations of how to collaborate in the development for rescind or translating the program in our language.
The installation is well simple: copy the main program, crimson.prc, RAM or memory card, like any other program. And then, through some technique to access the memory card to those already explained, copy the directory Crimson as it is in the path / Palm / Programs. That is, files in this directory will be in / Palm / Programs / Crimson.
That already have the game installed and ready for testing. Another good PC game available on our Palm. Until when will there thinking that games are available only for Palm lonely letters?
