Version 1.0 worked fine. However, version 1.1 would boot up, but when it was time for combat (in practice mode, or elsewhere) it would say insert disk 2 in any drive, you'd do it, and it would spin the disk then say insert disk 2 in any drive. If the game was installed on a hard disk, it would just hang. I noticed that disk 2 had entirely different files on it between ver 1.0 and ver 1.1. (it may have been ver 1.1 and 1.2, but it was the later version that was screwed up.) I wonder if there was some production problem and a disk 2 from some other game was included. Perhaps KING has a star control disk 2? (does KING come with more than one disk?) Anyway I dont have star control now as a result (tried prev version in store to see if it worked when I took mine back) because I want to know whats different/fixed in the later version and now am waiting for v 1.2 (or 1.3) to fix the disk 2 problem. It worked fine under 2.0 on 3000 up until the disk 2 prob. (yea for games that work on 2.0!) -- VAX Headroom Speaking for myself only... blah blah blahblah blah...
