Hey folks, Anyone tried the Badge Demo TVKD and got it to run? I got it from xanth.cs.odu.edu (1.4Mb), unzoo'ed it, unwarp'ed it onto 2 disks and read the docs (I got NO errors unwarping or unzooing the stuff). It says it takes 11 minutes to start off floppy or 3 minutes off hard drive. I didn't want to put it on my hard drive so I ran it from workbench off floppies. It went for about 10-11 minutes then white requester came up on top left on screen saying `` Nothing to Play '' of all things. I thought maybe I had some assignments or something screwed up on my system so I rebooted, went into workbench, and tried again. The same thing happened!!! [Incidently, after unwarping the 2 disks, disk 1 was 94% full and disk 2 was 99% full]. Am I doing something wrong? (I didn't get any errors anywhere, atleast that I know about). Could I perhaps have a bad copy of TVKD (I hope not cause it took the whole night to get). I have a A1000 with 2.5 Mb of RAM (is that not enough)? If anyone has had this experience or knows what I am doing wrong, I would really appreciate it if you would let me know. I would really like to see this demo as it is the second place winner and is said to be the funniest. Thanks for whatever help you can give me.

I believe it requires at least 3M of memory. I was unable to run it as well on an A1000 with 2.5M... ...tad
