I'm having a problem with it too. I don't know all the terms you
guys are using, but when I start the game and begin playing, after I
make the first hit, the game crashes and disappears off the screen.
I was thinking it was a memory thingy. I have 32 MEG of RAM and
a Number Nine 771 w/2MEG video card. The game played fine under
3.03.> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
