[--] After reading about it in Amazing Computing and seeing it at the dealer the next day, I picked up the game "Insanity Fight." The game is truly wonderful --- it boots incredibly fast (custom boot block I suppose --- don't run "install" on this one!), has a killer startup animation (go to your dealer just to see this), and a good game play... BUT, the game seems to hang everytime I get a high score and put my name in. After I enter the last letter and hit FIRE, it goes to the screen where it normally plays the digitized rock music, and sits there for good. Arg! Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, is there anyway around it? [Of course there was no mention of this is A-C... >8-( ] This is on a 2.5 Meg Amiga 1000 by the way. I haven't gotten the chance to check the game without the extra memory yet --- if I do so, and it works, I'll post a message... Ali Ozer, ali@polya.stanford.edu ps. Oh, but those startup screens --- wild! Go see them.

I had other games that froze when I save a high score when the disk
was write protected. Is it? If this was the problem, LET THE COMPANY
KNOW!!! Personally, I hate to write to a copy protected disk which I only
have one of. Some companies have a scenario disk that the user can back
up. Does this game allow that? Let us know!

I have this tendency to write-protect any disks before trying them out. Well, it first bit me with Little Computer People, and now it bites me again. Apparently you need to keep the disk unprotected so the high-score can be written. Otherwise the game just stops when you get a score good enough for the high-score table. With this minor inconvenience cleared, I can easily say the game is well worth the money. Ali Ozer, ali@polya.stanford.edu

Does this game allow that? Let us know! That was indeed the problem, as I mentioned in an earlier message... After playing a few hours (and writing high scores to the original disk), I decided to attempt to make a backup copy of the disk. Grind-grind-grind, and guess what, right after it copied the last track, >GURU<. (And this was on a freshly booted machine; so the diskcopy was the guilty program.) But, guess what? The copy works fine, and you can still write high scores and everything... So here's one game that is truly wonderful in many aspects, and furthermore, is not copy-protected! And it only cost ~$35. Highly recommended! Ali Ozer, ali@polya.stanford.edu
