We tried the head-to-head option using a null modem cable, and it works for a while, but whenever something major occurs (like a volcano or the swamp or rock laying thing) it suddenly pops up "Incompatible landscapes" and puts us back in one player mode. I'd really like to try it two-player. Do you or anyone else have any ideas what's going wrong? We checked through the manual but it wasn't much help.
