Recently I purchased Shadow of the Beast but it crashes my system
about 35% of the time. I own a vintage A1000 (circa Sept.85) with
1.5M internal (Aminetics). I am wondering if I am suffering from 
disk alignment problems or is the software faulty. It seems to only
happen during game play or when displaying the initial "you are here"
text and graphics; ie. it is always when disk 2 is in the drive.
One of three things usually happens:
1) screen goes black and the system locks
2) displayed static image is fouled up and is followed by symptom #1
3) displayed static image is fouled up and following game play is o.k.
I have seen other games do similar things on my system but far far less
frequently. Any one have a clue what is going on or seen this before???
What can be done to remedy this?
