To put it bluntly, they don't work together... I just finished unrapping my copy (Christmas arrived early at my house), popped it in the drive, and all I got was a blank grey screen. No worky. I tried it in both 2.0 and 1.3, but the effect was the same for either operatiing systems. It booted without a hitch on the A2000/HD in the next room. I don't really understand this considering Psygnosis has already proved that fast animation and scrolling can be accomplished w/o resorting to "nastiness," therefore they have no excuse. Bottom line, if you have a non-A3000 Amiga, I highly recommend the game...otherwise you can save your bucks, and alot of frustration.

It's not the game.... it's the bloody copy protection. From what I understand the demo works just fine on the A3000. I think it's about time that Amiga developers started to chill a bit with this software protection. Back when hard drive was a rarity, it might have been 'acceptable' in some cases, but now that HDs are very common, it is highly undesirable not being able to install the program on it. (especially when the clone version will install without any problem!) Bo Najdrovsky ...att!occrsh!attcc!bn bn@occrsh.com
