We recommend at least 64 megabytes of RAM.  (As with all Windows applications, the more memory, the better.)   For optimal performance, we strongly recommend 128 megabytes or more.

You can play SpiritWars using a 14.4 modem.  Once you've downloaded the installation program, the actual bandwidth requirements of playing the game are minimal.

Graphics Card & Video Display:

 

You must have 16-bit graphics or higher. The game does not support 256 color display.  Your screen resolution must be set to 800x600.  (You must have your system set to use "Small Fonts."  The game will not run properly in the "Large Fonts" mode.)

While is is POSSIBLE to run the game at 1600 X 1200 resolution on some systems, it is not advised.  Since "Large" fonts are not supported, you will have a difficult time reading any text information of chat conversations at this resolution.

Internet Connection:

An Internet connection is required.   SpiritWars was designed to be played by humans, with humans; and if you're not on-line, you can't play the game.

Browser:

The game web site requires either a current version of Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. The game doesn't require a browser for game play; however it will be difficult to participate in SpiritWars without a browser to access the game's web site (which you're already doing so this is a bit of a moot point, really).

Hard Drive Space:

unicorn.jpg (22386 bytes) Once installed, SpiritWars occupies approximately 34 megabytes of hard drive space.  This is the space used by the basic installation of the program.   It does not include any additional large art files should you purchase the option SpiritWars Art CD-ROM.

You can expect the game to expand and grow with regular patches and upgrades.  But the basic requirements of the game should never exceed 40 megabytes of hard drive space.

Download File Size:

The current SpiritWars installation file is approximately 14.2 megabytes.
