One of the guys from the above store went to the show in Chicago
and told Epyx about my problem.  Epyx is aware of the problem
and will soon release a version that will run on all disk drives.
So, unless you have an Atari drive, you will have to wait a bit.
Anyways, I highly recommend the Lucasfilms games and will be
impatiently waiting for the two new titles.
