Well, it depends on the structure of your game.  Also, if you stick to the
C libraries(compile a C++ file with no libraries and manually link
libc/crt0...), you'll get a smaller executable which still supports C++
coding features like classes, but without all the enhanced input/output. 
Since I haven't tried new and delete that way yet, I don't know if they
work either...
