     this game would not run with my Sierra Screamin' 3D for about
nine months until I downloaded newer Rendition drivers that I was
going to use to try to get another game (Privateer 2) to run. The new
driver solved my problem with Privateer and just killing time, I saw
that I still had 688(i) loaded on this system. I have been playing it
on my other system with an ATI Graphic pro turbo 64 and Diamond
Monster 3D. I put the CD in and started the game and it ran the
beginning animation. It had never done that before. It runs fine and
the only thing I changed was the Rendition drivers. I also have the
SB64AWE card. Maybe you need to upgrade the Canopus drivers.
It's worth a shot.
