A digital download from Steam for $9.99 or hard copies from Amazon.com or Newegg for $9.99 (and Newegg features free shipping). This war is not about slavery. --Robert E. Lee

CptHowdy Centurion Posts : 406 Joined: 12 DEC 2006 Status : Offline	*Originally Posted By Mr.Gregg* What is DRM? digital rights management. something like starforce, securom, etc... that checks to see if you own the software every time you want to play. some make you be connected to the internet so it can call in, some like starforce and securom install software on your computer. some just do a disk check which is why you will see some people ask for no disk hacks. a pain in the butt for people who own legit copies of the software as they have to keep proving they "own" the software everytime they want to use it.

Mr.Gregg Centurion Posts : 128 Joined: 22 JAN 2005 Status : Offline	Thanks for the info. CptHowdy. I really prefer a disk version over a download version. Does anyone out there have the disk version running fine on Windows 7 OS? Or do you have to run it on Windows 7 compatibilty mode? On the download version can it be saved to a CD disk in case something ever happens to my computer?

I have it installed on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC, but I haven't played the game yet. It loads up just fine, but that's as far as I've gotten with it.

It sounds like the new physical disc doesn't have it anymore. For $10, it's not a bad deal either. __________________________ Are you brave enough for 640kb?
