This might be 'Emerald Mine II' which is more like $34.95. The version I
have ( 'I' not 'II') is strictly a one disk game and doesn't seem to take
any longer to load than the others, but they all seem to take along time
to load. Regardless of whether this game is two disks or not, if you're
thinking about buying anything for your Amiga and you don't have a second
drive, then go for that first. Unless you've got a hard drive and maybe
4meg.
