Hmmm, I actually thought, after a little bit of initial 'wtf' that SE 5 
was not a bad looking, or bad playing game. The real problem is that the 
gfx programming has some shortcoming that means it runs like pigshit 
flowing down a straw on modern OS or cpus, not sure which one is the 
problem. SE 4 runs a lot better. I can't remember right now if I've 
tried SE 5 on Win 8 yet, on Win7_64 it's unplayable. Wish someone would 
figure out how to fix it.

-P.
