Hmmm... I seem to have installed mission disk over the original game (and
renamed to-be-overwriten files to another name). Works fine that way...
How about if you try to run .exe files directly from the shell? Not
clicking the script files, which have icons.
"bad number" could sound like missing screenmode, which could result
complain about missing modeid number... but if the original game worked
earlier and you haven't modified any screen modes...
BTW. if somebody doesn't know, you can get updated 68k+ahi exe from the
authors.. then the game works also on next gen machines (at least on
Pegasos).
