That is strange. I never had a single problem with my A1000, and I had the game from when it first came out. > The game has a horrid copy protection on the disk, so horrid that No question about that. Luckily, Project D copies the game (both releases AS WELL AS the Super Agnus update). >my drive would not load the game in correctly. Usually between periods >the game would lock-up or something strange would happen such as there >would be no goal net or the players looked weird. Hmmm. In two years of playing the game (heavily, I may add), I never once had it guru, get garbled, or fail to play in any way. > The symptoms SOUND like agnus, but the store I bought the game >from said it was the copy protection and they had about 20 disks (20!!!) His symptoms are definitely the Agnus problem - I had the same thing when I got my A2000. I now have the update disk and it is working fine (and is copyable with project D). And if you take a good look at the exit game menu, you'll notice they have the hook in for using the League Simulator, so I assume it's close to coming out. >out of 45 that they sold come back as defective in the same way. I tried >other copies but to no avail. That's too bad. It's a great game. I and a number of my friends have the game and have never had a loading problem (though it does make yer drives grind like hell). -- Rich Carreiro - Most Biased Boston Celtics Fan!
