Hi gang! Well, after talking to Ready Soft, It seems that space ace has a problem and won't run on some machines for some unknown reason. Since I got one of these machines that it won't work on, I was wondering if anyone else out there is having simillar problems. Email me if anyone knows anything about this. It breaks into the monitor after trying to begin the game with key 0. It flashes up a picture of Space Ace with lives remaining, and then thats it, crash into the monitor.

I believe it stems from letting the demo run. Press 0 to begin the game BEFORE the games spurs off into the demonstration. That usually solved the problem for me. Drew

I sent it back to them and got a replacement copy. It works fine. :). By the way forget the documentations comments about not running from a hard drive. I put my copy on the hard drive and it works fine. I may just be lucky, but give it a try when you get a good copy, if you have a hard drive.

My original of Space Ace did the same thing. The problem is when you press 0, you interrupt the demo, which will cause the program to crash. There isn't a way to fix it, but you can avoid the problem. All you have to do is press '0' when the credits are up, so you don't interrupt the demo. Hope this helps. _______________________________________________ _______________ | Steve Chiang Apple //gs Forever! | Coming Soon: | |-----------------------------------------------|---------------| | Columbia University in the Harlem area :P | DreamGrafix: | | Internet : stc7@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu | 3200 color | | America_Online : DWS Steve | power | |_______________________________________________|_______________|
