There have been several postings here that the copy protection is so incredibly sensitive to the speed of the floppy disk drives that it wouldn't boot on many machines. I more suspect my otherwise completely functional computers than the game disk. You have no _concept_ how thrilled I am when I have to fight depression months on end to get out of the house for an hour or two one time, to get to dedicate one entire battle to driving back up to Redwood City to try to trade this game in at Go Amigo. I really, really hope I never let anyone talk me into another Psygnosis game. Psygnosis are slime. > Excited to get the next piece of Psygnosis Garbage -- Lemmings! Do enjoy. I think my next game will be one I write. The also copy protected Turrican disk died before I ever learned how to get off the first level, and I have no idea where I got that one any more. I probably got four total hours of play out of that. $10 per hour is a bit stiff for entertainment for a guy living on dried beans. Kent, the man from xanth.
