We had a lot of problems with the video while playing. The screen would change to Technicolor and flash. I am not entirely sure if the problem is with the game or with recent upgrades that we made to the computer. In any case, we alerted Blue Byte to a possible video problem and within a few days, they had tested various boards, found a problem with S3 type video chips, and promised that a patch would be ready before the game is released next week. Near water, the sound of the surf pounding against the shore is very realistic and gets louder as you get closer.
