When in the welcome screen, some error message is displayed and the last line is about color something like "log2 color<=3" and a window with a button without any text is displayed. After pressing the button, exit to dos! May be some System 7 call is not implement with executor which required by this game. Thanks a lot! Yours, Thomas
