If the game was installed on a hard disk, it would just hang. Accolade has excellent policies regarding its custommers. Not only are the products continuously updated, but should your copy of a game not run, you will be sent a free update. Just call or write them. The address and phone numbers are in the manual. >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. The latest version is 1.2. One point to note, Star Control really likes chip memory. If your machine has only 512K of chip memory, close down unecessary windows on your workbench screen. If that does not work, call custommer support. >(does KING come with more than one disk?) Search for the King comes on five disks! Megabytes to enjoy.

In case symptoms of withdrawal arize, contact the therapists at custommer support, or play the game once again. -- "An operating system without virtual memory Name: Valentin Pepelea is an operating system without virtue."
