I have had no problems with the original DM or CSB crashing or the pointer
disappearing, or anything. I played DM for a long time and have played CSB
since right after it started selling and never saw the pointer problem or
had a crash yet. In fact, as game stability goes, I rate DMII as one of the
best on the market.
Just my 2 cents.
BTW I have A2000 with Fat Agnus, Supra RAM w/ 2 Meg & Supra WordSync 100M
Quantum.

As a matter of fact, it has happened about 5 times now! I think it happens when you check to see if the wall is false/fake. If you hit it more than once(say double click the mouse) is when I found this to happen. The only way to correct this is by selecting save game/quit. Good luck because your pointer is gone, so you have to guess! I had the time of my life when this happened, becuase I was running for my life from Choas. What a joy! Has anyone here called FTL to check this out? I'm using v3.01 I think, old Agnus, 1.2 Roms, and 1 meg. Anybody find the firestaff yet? Also, I tried to rejuvenate some of the bones lying around, but no luck. Killed one of my guys for nothing. Thanks god for saved games!!! Death to Chaos!!!

BTW, a lot of people have sent me email about my earlier questions re DMII, and I have answered that mail. However, I just found out today that mail may not have been leaving this site. So, don't think I'm rude because I didn't thank you....I was OBE.
