Well, thanks anyway, but I think it just wasn't meant to be.

I've tried everything, and for every problem I fix, three more pop up...


I remember getting this game to work on my friend's P90 a couple of years
ago, but, unfortuantley, we can't remember how we did it....


So, never mind, I think I'll have to pick up a cheap CD32 to play it on....

Thanks.
Ad.

I used to play it on my ol'trusty Amiga and followed the exact same path
as you.

For a glorious two days it more or less worked fine and then screwed up
again with random crashes, hang-ups and display corruption.

And that was the last time I ever played it. I was seriously considering
buying up a cheap old A1200 just to play some of my old games. No DOS,
no soundcard fiddling, no conflicts, just simple graphics, top gameplay
and a trapdoor accelerator burning through my desk....

Got to recomment UAE/WinUAE here. It emulates an A500 *very* well.
Anyway.. this is very offtopic, so I'll shut up now before I start on
the Amiga vs. PC thing... ;)
