...however it doesn't load.
Like the previous comment, I can get the game loaded but the scenarios never load. I tried letting the computer run all night in an effort to load a scenario, but to no avial.

Something is obviously wrong. At first I though it was my computer. I tried to run it on the other three computers in the house with the same results.

The patch has been of no use.

I'm just grateful to find out there is nothing wrong with my computer.

***addendum***

I exchanged the game for another copy of the same game. The results were the same.

So there is something obviously wrong with the program.

I know the other two reviewers had some issues getting this game to run, but setting it to compatibility mode for Windows 98 worked fine for me.

It is a really fun game, my only issue is that the game has no tutorial, so I had to guess, and learn as I went.
