If you have a 512K Amiga with an external drive, this (HIGHLY ANNOYING)
bug can be avoided by just unplugging the external drive before you power
on. Turns out that last 25K or so used by the external drive's code is
CRITICAL to the proper functioning of the program.

Try the game a little more...it's pretty good, actually.
