Posting MB sizes with games

I am a Real Arcade customer. They always listed the MB size of the game file to be downloaded. My internet provider (HUGHES NET) allows only X amt of MB downloaded per day, except in off hours (between 2 am & 5 am) or you are penalized by excessive slow speeds for the next 24 hrs. When a game is to large I wait to download between those hours.
Could you please list the approximate size of each game.
Thanks,
G Candles

I'll second that request, but for a different reason. I'm on dialup, usually fairly slow, so I don't buy really big games as they just take too long to download. Earlier today I was getting about 2MB an hour. Yes, I did say MB.

It would be great if you could list the sizes.

Thanks,
Janie

Third that request! That's something I liked about RealArcade. I guess you could always stop the download after it starts but I'd like to know to begin with.

Small games like your basic collapse , blackjack, glinx! etc are anywhere from 5 to 10mb.

An average good game ranges from 25mb to 75 mb and in some extreme cases as big as 300mb,.

Most of us know what the average sizes run. But some of the puzzle ones are very large. To some of us that is a big deal. Myself and others for different it is a big deal. The average doesn't make a bit of difference. It would be very considerate if they were posted. One of the reasons that I was with Real Arcade is because they always posted the MB's.
