Tonight I picked up a new game called Faery Tale Adventure by Micro Illusions.
The game is huge.  An animated character moves across a smoothly scrolling 3-d
background.  Finally, I thought, a real-time adventure game with great
animated graphics that will show off the capabilities of my Amiga.  This game
surpassed my expectations until . . . 
* FLAME ON *
a massive bug appeared.  Your progress is saved on a separate disk.  So I
saved the game, re-booted F.T.A. (you have to Quit in order to save), and
loaded the saved information.  The game came up, but my character had been
turned into a bunch of horizontal lines.  In fact, the monsters seem to have
been turned into garbage also.  In other words, the game seems to work fine
as long as I don't ever save my progress.  How could such a glaring,
fatal bug slip past quality control?  And this is a $50 game?
