FWIW, the whole "NewtonQuake" project was a hoax... The PKG won't
install (NCU rejects it), and the "program" that converts PAK->PKG
just spits out error messages (eventually telling you that it is
indeed a joke). Anyway, just think about it: a commercial software
package that uses tons of graphics & sounds, released as freeware on
a completely unsupported machine that runs at 162MHz, has 16 grays,
and mediocre sound. Also keep in mind the prices of flash cards for
the large program... Doesn't sound too likely :-P.
