It certainly is huge, and as advertised, my starting free space of 1.25GB on my 32GB iPod Touch wasn&#039;t enough, so I had to clear other stuff.  With 1.65GB free it installed great.
It is definitely old-school Myst with a new candy coating! ;)  You are still looking at largely still images (in more recent updates there is subtle things like wind blowing stuff a bit and so on).  But it looks as good as recent 1st person &#039;point &amp; click&#039; adventure games such as Keepsake and Scratches and others on the PC.  They have done nice stuff with the audio as well.
Oops ... getting into a review already ;)  I will do a full review when I work through it, but so far I am pleased with it for $5.99 ... even though it is my 5th copy! (ok, that is spread over 16 years - Mac in &#039;93, PC in ~95 or so, DS and PSP at either end of &#039;07).  In fact, it is better for $6 than the DS or PSP versions which cost much more (especially since I had to get a UK release for the PSP which never hit the US!).</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I wrote that I hadn&#8217;t decided whether or not to grab it &#8230; but of course my curiosity got the better of me!</p><p>It certainly is huge, and as advertised, my starting free space of 1.25GB on my 32GB iPod Touch wasn&#8217;t enough, so I had to clear other stuff.

750mb and from what I&#039;ve read, it is all still pictures, no motion or movies. Is there panning and zooming?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you played it yet?  750mb&#8230;.Youch.
