When I was in New York a couple of weeks ago, I went to this Leigh Computers shop (something like that) and saw an Innerprise 3 pack (Sword of Sodan, BS, Turrican) for 40$. I got just the last 2 for 30$, as I find the first somewhat lacking in playability. On returning to Holland, however, I found that BS just dies during booting (the screen changes color about 10 times and then remains black). I don't feel much like flying back to get a good disk, so I was wondering what policy Innerprice has on bad disks. Should I just send them the disk or the whole box? Will they refund my shipping costs? I would appreciate any information on this. >Would another _Battle Squadron_ lover out there who knows other good >shoot-em-up titles let me know what they are?

I've never seen so much stuff flying over the screen at once. Also the possibility of two player action, one with the chopper and the other with an attack vehicle, looked very exciting.
