	Please tell me you are kidding.  U8 on CD-rom?  Considering how "not
on par with the rest of the series that title was when infact it should have
been better", I think it saved us working Joe's a lot of money.  Think of the
disappointment of the masses buying a CDrom to play U8, and then realising it
was garbage?  Orgin would have lost them as customers for life I reckon...
maybe they realised this so that was why they did not go CDROM only with that
title, as someone here once suggested.
