Would a five to ten gigabyte game work?

[EnterTheStory (aka tolworthy)]

I'm considering combining all my games into one file. Right now it would only be 700 MB, but over the next 20 years it could easily push 10 gigabytes. Is there any practical limit to the physical size of AGS games?

EDIT: I've tried a 3 gig game, and it works OK, but obviously I haven't tested it thoroughly - it was just a fake game with giant rooms. I'd be interested to know if anyone has found slow downs when pushing everything to the limit.

Who knows? I'm not sure what the largest AGS game has ever been, but I'm sure it would have to have had a lot of video or high-quality digital sound.

Plus, twenty years worth of foresight is a hell of a burden.

Hazarding a guess, Phoenix-1 is probably very close to being the largest at the moment.

Well, due to AGS being 32-bit it cannot handle files larger than 4 GB. However, as long as the resource files are split, this should be ok.
