Yeah-- My drive wouldn't even read the second disk to ``BLOOD MONEY'' (I use a backup program on it and my drive used the BACKUP DISK fine... but not the original. Whatever...) I like the way ``BATTLE CHESS'' was done. You enter the codes at one time. (Battle Chess is great on a hard drive...) ``THE IMMORTAL'' makes you enter codes every time you go to another level. (I have yet to see how this can be put on a hard drive...) Scott -- Signature follows. [Skip now] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott D.
