HELP!

I read a short note here a while ago about someone posting a verison of
the old arcade classic "Omega Race".  Could somebody please send me a copy
or tell me how I can get one myself?  Please note that I do not have FTP
access.

Thanks for any help.

Mike

I can't tell you how to get it unless you have FTP access, but I can tell you
that it is designed for a PAL system, the fun of having the game, as
exceedingly well done as it is (except that it is PAL-dependent and
non-multitasking) is low when you can't see where you are for half the time.

Okay gang,

I have managed to get a copy of the Omega Race clone AmegaRace, but I can't
figure out how to make it work.  Every time I load the game I see the nice
intro screen, then the high score screen, and then a scrambled play screen.

As soon as I try to take any action, (fire, turn, etc.) my machine crashes!

Is there a patch of some kind or other magic that can be used to make it work?

For reference, I have an A1000 with 2meg internal RAM, the Spirit HDA-506
hard drive system, and a 68010 CPU.  I tried DeciGel, to no avail...

Any help is appreciated.
