(costs about12 Dollars in Belgium)
Well, I got mine from Sierra's website. The file I have is 12,9Mb and the
file Im currently downloading from Papy is 18Mb........So Im hoping thats
the real demo!!!
Cant wait to play this game.....
-TH
Expensive...all taxes and crap.
-TH
With the 18Mb demo from Papy it looks VERY interesting.
Thx.
-TH
Be sure to get the 18Mb demo from www.papy.com

Are you running DirectX 7a?

What video driver are you using for your TNT2?
Download the latest driver at www.nvidia.com for the TNT2 3.68,
install them as per the instructions in the readme.
Hope this helps

Nope that was the answer....
-TH
If we're following the rules made by the powers that be...(and of course we
do that)...then the game is embedded a tax & borderfee that make up a lot of
the difference....
Not by 400% of course...but anyways....

Downloading it now ... I have tried two demos from Sierra, both about
12mb in size.
I see that they claim W98 support so I'm hoping for the best ... I'll let
you know.
I did mail Sierra about this problem and amongst various comments, this
shone through ...
"....... it is not recommended to load a demo to determine whether the
full version of the program will operate on the system."
I find this quite amusing .....
