I'd rather not announce this fact, since I will probably get tons of flames from people who wouldn't even buy the game if it were hard drive installable. On-floppy copy protection IS my pet peeve, as it is to all of us at the US office. However, the UK office has not listened to our many requests to make all new games hard drive installable. After L2, we were led to believe that all of our games would be hard drive installable, and thought that Walker was going to be last floppy-based game. This wasn't the case. However, Hired Guns IS hard drive installable (and VERY system friendly). I'll be posting that announcement tomorrow.

I should probably work up some kind of announcement that Psygnosis is connected to the internet soon. Hopefully, I won't get too swamped. TITLE Prime Mover COMPANY USA: EUROPE: Psygnosis Ltd.
