Well, this is really weird, because it worked just fine on my 3000.  It
definitely got past the opening screens.  You could do the TEN PINTS cheat
and wander all over.  There were no graphics glitches.  I'm pretty sure 
this was under 1.3 (a 3000-25/100, circa early July, if it matters).

Maybe there was some bug that was fixed in a later software rev ?  The
version I was using said "North American - NTSC Version", or something
like that.  (It's not my game, but a friend was trying it on my machine)

How strange.
