Now that's really funny! It is obvious that when one says that one wants your games to work from the workbench, they mean that they don't want it to take over the whole machine! Now you have a game that just takes one extra step (annoying) to run, and yet takes over the whole machine, and you have to reboot to run anything else! So what's the point, if you still have to reboot from df0:? MM is great, but you guys could have given it more thought. Like a better ending screen (yes I have gotten to it!) And your package says joystick recommended, but most people have found the mouse to give much better control! I love your game, and I am not trying to spoil it, but I am giving my two cents worth for future products.
