A friend of mine bought a copy of Transylvania by Penguin Software yesterday,
and found a really nasty bug.   If, when you get eaten by a werewolf ( this may
be true for other characters as well, but we'll never know..) you follow the 
instructions given by the game, which are to  "" press any key to continue "",
and choose the mouse button as your key, Transylvania will trash various 
elements of the system folder, and itself, and you won't be able to boot the
program again.  Since the program is COPY PROTECTED this makes this game have
a very short life span.  So, if you have this game, be wary of the mouse!
