Hi Dave,
regarding MPS,the "latest" game I've brought from them,which is "1944 across
the Rhine",I've to say I was beening rip-off.
On the side of the box,the system requirements said minium 486 dx33 and
4 meg ram,I've a 484dx66 plus 8 meg,so I thought I should get some reasonable
performance,but in the end,it turns out that even a P100 and 16meg ram aren't
powerfull enough to run it(if u don't believe me,ask anyone in the
comp.ibm-pc*****.games.stratigies newsgroup),and guess what?I can't get a
refund,and it's been gathering dusk ever since(until I get a >P100 anyway)
if I've downloaded it instead....... :(
BTW the game itself wasn't too bad,it's just being TOO SLOW.
Leslie
