Got this game about (hmm) a year ago i guess. Just briefly, its quite a nice little game with a lot in the package, and a lot in the freedom of the style of play : if you are prepared to fork out the necessary dollars for it! (Mine was a gift.) Anyway - i think i've found a troublesome bug. Possibly it may be due to a shonky disk drive but experimentation with different drives seems to set the lie to this. This is what happens : sporadically, items in a characters inventory turn to must. Generally if it happens to one character it happens to them all. When an item is examined it has nonsensical attributes (no weight, a garbled name etc. etc.) To compound this very often saved versions of the game will have the same problem : i at one stage resorted to saving several versions at once and checking them immediately for integrity. i'm running the IBM version on an Amstrad PPC640 portable. Anyone else seen this? p-m --------------------------------------------------------------------------- paul-michael agapow (agapow@latcs1.ox.au); AI Lab, LaTrobe University
