I downloaded this game and installed it on my system, and it is wonderful!
Omega the way it was never meant to be played, but should have!

The problem is that it crashes rather frequently, usually with an address
error, but occasionally (once) with a line A exception.

Here's my configuration that I am running it in:
Amiga 1000, 2.5 megs of ram, 68000 vanilla
two units of RRamDisk, omega executables and files in fast1: and saved levels
and such on fast0:.

I've tried stack up to 60000 with no change in behavior.
Options: !pictures, !ramdisk.

It seems that it crashes more frequently when it is about to open a window,
particularly the file requester window and the overhead view window.  This
is just a perception, however.

Software running in my system:
AutoCLI
SRT
SKsh/ArpShell
RRamDisk

I've tried running the game from the RRamDisk immediately after booting,
before SKsh/ArpShell has loaded, and the behavior remains the same.

Other experiences would be appreciated.
