My version used to forget to reload its copperlist after some minutes playing. This was on nearly EVERY friends Amiga. Fortunately, then I just got a 68020 board which was, with cache disabled, slightly faster than a 68000 and this makes the game work. Yes, the programmer did a very good job on finding the few A500s which had a marginally faster clock. -- Michael van Elst UUCP: universe!local-cluster!milky-way!sol!earth!uunet!unido!mpirbn!p554mve Internet: p554mve@mpirbn.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree."
