There have been a few comments here regarding the inability to run "Jack Nicklaus' Greatest 18 Holes of Major Championship Golf" (gads, who named this thing??) (or JNG18HOMCG, for short!). Basically, JNG18HOMCG won't run under 7.0 if the system is booted normally. However, if you boot with the shift key down (to disable extensions), JNG18HOMCG seems to run fine on my machine. I've played a couple of the courses all the way through now, and no crashes so far. [tech note: hardware setup = IIcx, 8mb/80hd, 8bit color, 7.0 final] A slight annoyance, but worth it to keep a fairly good golf simulation running (and when your foot's in a cast, simulated golf is as close as you get to the real thing!). I don't own Mean 18, but I imagine the same strategy would work for it, as well. And it may be worth trying before writing off any other games as non-7.0 compatible... Just my $0.02... -rob. [....
