Since when can't you use omega from a hard drive? I just copied the disk contents to a hard disk directory. Just run their Startup-Sequence, as I recall, maybe I had to take loop.ago out of the s directory or some such. Whatever I did, though, it was pretty straightforward. Laurence R.

According to the guys on the OSI BBS (Origin's board, where the OMEGA contest is going down), the game will sort of work on a hard drive, if you delete loop.ago from their startup-sequence. There were some reports of miscellaneous crashes, as the game was never really intended to be run from a hard drive. (I don't have a hard drive yet, and I gave up on OMEGA after seeing the bugs.)
