Title: Got 1.5GB to spare? Apple’s Texas Hold’em is back on iOS Post by: HCK on July 09, 2019, 04:05:14 pm Got 1.5GB to spare? Apple’s Texas Hold’em is back on iOS
<article> <section class="page"> <p>It’s been a year of big software-related surprises in the Appleverse, and today we’ve got another one for you: Apple’s own <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/texas-holdem/id284602850" rel="nofollow">Texas Hold’em[/url] card game has finally made its way back to the iOS App Store after an eight-year absence. For that matter, we’ve got another surprise—this “simple” card game weighs in at 1.5GB. Yikes. When we originally reviewed it (https://www.macworld.com/article/1134588/texasholdem.html) in 2008, we warned you about the “huge 128MB download size.”</p><p>Apple restored the game to the App Store using the same listing, so it’s kind of funny to see reviews that were written 10 years ago, as though the game had vanished and reappeared thanks to a <a href="https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Thanos" rel="nofollow">Thanos-style snap[/url]. Texas Hold’em looks about the same, but sports improved graphics—which probably have a lot to do with the massive file size—and you can play at 10 locations ranging from Vegas to a “garage” with posters for the iMac G3 hanging from the wall.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3407639/apple-texas-holdem-returns-to-app-store.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Got 1.5GB to spare?
