I am currently playing [planets edge.. I have come across a planet in the
Acamar system that holds the Temple of the Sun.   When scanniong thew planet,
the graphics are scrambled, and when trying to beam down, the game totally
locks up.  Does anyone know of any fixes for the game that are hanging around
out there??
 
I have also noticed that while running Windows Hi-mem some of the graphics go
haywire, but using DOS hi-mem seems to alleviate this problem...


Any ideas??

This is a bug in the game.  New World Computing on CompuServe said that the
Acamar system was used for testing and debugging the game.  Unfortunately,
some of the debug code was left in the final version, and this code crashes
the game.  There is nothing important in the Acamar system.  I was able to
finish without visiting Acamar.
