Impressive 96k FPS from 2004 that I discovered kkrieger
« on: January 07, 2022, 09:40:41 PM »
I was surfing youtube last night looking for new stuff to check out for games and came across a project that I previously had not been aware of that back in 2004 a group of German programmers put together a first person shooter called kkrieger that had impressive graphics for only 96k in size. I was able to locate the game for download and while its not without some glitches it ran under Windows 10 64-bit on my Core i5 with GT 730 video card with ease since it was built to run on a Pentium III 1.5Ghz or better with Geforce 4 Ti or better back in 2004. Impressive in that its all that it is for 96k in size it was fun to play even though I got snagged when trying to walk off of a platform and all I could do was turn around 360 and shoot but unable to jump and get un-snagged during one of my many runs testing it out.

The game while 96k in size to meet a competition goal expands into RAM to be around 30,000 times its original size at just under 300 MB. Glitches in it are mainly because it was stripped down of some error checking to be within the 96k as well as they were just barely able to compact it down to 96k before the deadline of the competition using a code compression tool.
