Chris, We've sold a number of Psygnosis' "Shadow of the Beast", and not a one has come back. (Somewhere around 30 copies sold so far). The game does not have problems here, so I would suggest that you check for a common symptom over there and look for the cause of your problems. I've run it on my 1000, 500, 2000, and (booting...) well, erp, it is having problems on the 2500, trying 68000 mode now... mmm, didn't work with the 000 either... I do have a fF in there, but that's the only unstandard thing. Don't know what's causing my problem, but unless you are selling all of your copies to folks with 2500's, fattest Agnus, and flickerFixers you've got another problem. Send me mail describing the symptoms and I'll try to think of what may be causing them. I take it that the reason you sound so hysterical is that you badly want to play the game because of it's AWESOME sound and graphics, but you can't because you are having this problem. If you do get it figured out, let me know if you or one of your customers gets past the orange pig.
