*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** i just received world games by epyx and sinbad by cinemaware. with my 9 year old at my side we tried a backup with marauderII successful on world games not so on sinbad. the real problem is that neither would run with my csa turbo box attached. this is the first software in a long time that either does not like the 68020 or maybe does not like the 14 megahertz. i also tried decigel ahead of world games still no go. i then pulled of the turbo box and everything worked fine i also should mention that it was not just the copies it was the original. my point in posting is that i know there are a lot of people who did the 68010 upgrade and who cannot just pull the box. again i'm not sure if its the chip or the speed but those are my observations. also i could not get back on the machine for the rest of the night because my 9 year old loved world games. bob flocchini

Sinbad works fine on my 68010 +2.5Meg Amiga A1000 ... maybe they did some nasty stuff like write self modifying code for their copy protection? That would certainly break an '020 ... Eric -- ARPA: Lavitsky@RED.RUTGERS.EDU UUCP: ...ulysses!eric ...caip!topaz!eric ...hplabs!well!lavitsky
