I tried getting the Sorry game to work from atari.archive, but
the program doesn't seem to want to run. It appears that the game
loads about halfway into memory, then crashes-- locking up the
computer. I've done the entire download process from scratch twice
and have been successful with other downloads, so I am sure that the
problem is in the program. Anyone know where I can get a working
version of Sorry?
Thanx in advance,

"Sorry" - it only runs in colour "Sorry" - it has no computer opponent "Sorry" - it does not use direct manipulation to play Pretty Sorry game - unless you are a Sorry addict. The implementation is complete (ie. does everything original did), but it is unfortunate that no computer player is supplied (it would surely be trivial), and the user interface leaves a lot to be desired: you choose pieces to move by NUMBER rather than clicking on the piece - stuff like that. -- _--_|\ warwick@cs.uq.oz.au / * <-- Computer Science Department, \_.--._/ University of Queensland, v AUSTRALIA.
