<Flame On> I just went out and bought "Temple of Apshai Trilogy" from Epyx and I'm rather annoyed to find out that it doesn't run with my monochrome monitor. All I get is the stupid box telling me that it only runs in low resolution. Since I couldn't demo it at the store where I bought it, all I could do was read the outside of the box. The only restriction that I could find says "Disk Requires 512k". When was the last time anyone saw an ST with less than 512k and no disk drive. Even the instruction inside never mention the need for a color monitor (not that I could read them until after I bought the program). I guess I'll just have to give the stupid program to a friend with a color monitor. <Flame Off> Why can't people clearly label the monitor requirements (and TOS rom requirements, for that matter) of their software on the outside of the packaging? I certainly won't be buying any more programs unless they explicitly state that they work with monochrome monitors. "Guerrilla war struggle is a new entertainment" -Gang of Four Glen T. Slick -------
