It's not the game.... it's the bloody copy protection. From what I understand
the demo works just fine on the A3000. I think it's about time that Amiga
developers started to chill a bit with this software protection. Back when
hard drive was a rarity, it might have been 'acceptable' in some cases, but
now that HDs are very common, it is highly undesirable not being able to 
install the program on it. (especially when the clone version will install
without any problem!)
