Has anyone had any problems with Beast hanging on them at certain points
of the game?

I just got this game, and although it looks *GREAT*, I am a bit peeved
to see it crash right after the "Disk 2 credits", or when you enter your
home.  (in the tree)

It looks as though it is going to the limits of chip ram, and doesn't care
to check if it is sometimes going beyond those limits.

In one moment of desperation, I stripped my 1000 of every accessory --
hard drive, 2nd disk drive, etc..., (who said game playing wasn't fun!:-)
and guess what -- it worked!! -- ONCE... :-(

A couple of my friends tried it out on their machines -- one has a brand
new 500 -- he had the same problems I had.  The other one had a stripped
1000 -- he said it worked fine for him.  (huh?)

Anyway, it looks like we have a 33% success rate with this game so far.
