Hey, thanks for the reply and the help. That did it -- first try.

I'm going to take your suggestion to not try to save everyone the first time to heart. I have been trying to do that, and as you say, it is very frustrating.

I'm glad that I was finally able to get this game working. I'm not a big platform-gamer, but this game has me completely captivated. I only paid 7 bucks for it, and so I wasn't about to send 10 bucks to the company for a replacement disk. Good think I didn't just chuck it.

By the way, is there any significance to the yellow Abe-faces (pretty much like your photo) that appear in the lower corner of some of the screens? I can't figure out if they mean anything or not, but they seem to appear only rarely.

While I have you on the line, has the quintology been abandoned? I thought I read somewhere that the 3rd episode is going to be console-only. That would be a shame.

Thanks again for the help, and for the warm welcome.
