There has to be something wrong with your copy. I have started , and restarted 
the game several times , without noticing anything buggy about this.


On the other hand , I have found one of these very few games , wich is 
programmed using GOOD programming. I.E It is HD installable, it will
use the ramdrive , it WON'T use those annoying questions from the manual,
it won't make your 500 drive sound like a tractor.

The game is rather playable , but I guess some of the riddles would be a bit
tough on the young people playing. The sound effects are rather good, but don't
expect some Rock'nRoll when you are in a dungeon, rather the slow drip of water\
from the ceiling . ( Or is it blood.) 
The game system itself is somewhat clumsy , you cannot have a common pool of
money for the gang ( In which RPG can you ? ), The graphics are a bit less 
entertaing for those who are accustomed to DM , but a bit better than BT.

I think it is a good game to buy , if for nothing else , buy it to show
that it is not neccessary to copyprotect the games in absurdum , making 
them impossible to play on anything else than a clean A500.

PS The manual is the best I have ever seen for an RPG.
