You are missing out...  When will people realize that hard disk installation
is not everything...  You have to give up some things for a great game.
The game is not diskintensive, and does not lag long enough to warrant a boy-
cott of its sale.  You have to realize that most of psygnosis` games are
VERY large (over 2 megs), and if one was to make it hard drive installable
most likely it would have to be in DOS format, which means 3 or more disks,
and lots of disk swapping, which everyone hates as well...  You have to
give a little to get a little, don't forget...  If you are content to playing
the same old, same old, then fine, but I would say that you are going to miss
out on a lot in the long run...
