After hearing good reviews of this games, I bought it, only to find it
constantly either gurued or lost track of disk 2. If run from the floppy, it
can't find disk2 (I've tried renaming the disk the name in the requestor, but
that didn't help; perhaps there is an invisible character in the file
name???).  After installation on my hard drive (I just put everything into
one directory; the install script was broken by looking for directories on
the floppy that weren't there) the game would run, but would always crash
after a varying amount of time--usually right after the title screen came
up, sometimes right before, sometimes right after the options screen, but
before the game actually started.

If anyone has successfully conquered these problems, *please* let me know
how you did it.  I have an Amiga 2000 with a 2090a hard drive controller
and 3 meg of memory, if the configuration matters.

thanks,
rob
