Well, my finals are over, so I thought I'd relax by playing some games... however, my computer has conspired against me in my quest for fun. The two main games that I have been trying to play are Phantasy III and Bard's Tale. Both give me trouble when it comes to the saved game disk. In Phantasy, it saves the game fine for a little while, then will start to lose it...the picture of the town will be divided into vertical strips, and lose most of its colors. Shortly after this, the demon will appear, but I will have no party, and the list of characters will be empty... The Bard's Tale problem occurs before I can even get going, in that it never recognizes the character disk, or, rather, never seems to write it... I have been following the instructions, but to no avail. All this leads to my plea for help...does anyone know if a) either of these games require a specific tos version (I have 1.2, which has always seemed somewhat safe...) b) there is a good way to check the reliability of my drive or c) if someone has a copy of what should be on the character disk (dunno if that would be copyrighted or not) so I could see if the dang thing recognizes it... Thanks, Andrew
