���� Armagatron was a game I wrote a review on at HERE quite a while ago, and I have decided to give it just a little more fame ;-)

Also, make sure you take a look at the review I wrote and check out the Armagetron site.� Maybe even send them a nice thank you E-Mail for creating the game in the first place ;-)

���� The idea of having Armagetron on a floppy was when I was told if I could get the game to run fully off a floppy (or CD), I could have a end of the year LAN Party like thing in my computer applications class.� So with my great ingenuity (and a hour or so of my time and patients) I got the Armagetron Dedicated Server 2.6 and Armagetron 2.6 to run directly off a floppy.� What does this mean?� It means portable LAN parties!� So you can grab a box of 50 old floppies from some one for free (unlike CD's) and then give one to all your friends who are participating in your LAN party.� Next make a disk for the server, run the server, tell your friends to run the game, and after a few minutes everyone is having fun in a portable LAN Party!

���� Now, after all this reading you are probably starting to get very impatient, because you may be thinking I am lying (because the game is a 3MB game) or you just really want to play around with it.� So if you want you can just scroll down to the bottom of this page now, and start enjoying my masterpiece, however some people are going to want to know how I possibly did such a thing.� In a nutshell it went as follows...

1. I pondered over such a devious task.

    

2. I then removed all unnecessary files such as foreign language files and help files.

    

3. I edited some of the language config files to exclude the foreign language files.

    

4. Finally, I used a special program to compress the Armagetron.exe (and Armegetron_dedicated.exe) file.� (actually it only compressed some parts of the file...but oh well)

    

���� Sorry, but I will not give out the full details on actually how I did it for some undisclosed reasons.� However, feel free to change it in any way or make it support other medias (maybe the old 1MB floppy or something...lol).� Just make sure you send me an E-Mail and tell me what you did ;-)

So here is what you have been waiting for.� The ZIP files!

Armagetron On A Floppy Version 1.0

Armagetron Server On A Floppy Version 1.0

Setup
���� Simply extract all the files in the ZIP file to your floppy disk.� To run either the server or the game, just look for the EXE file and double click on it.� Wait about a minute and it will start.� Also, just so you know, once it loads it won't be that much slower than playing the game off your computer's hard drive, since almost everything is loaded into RAM.� Enjoy!
