dosn't work you might want to try finding the .exe the shortcut is connected
to.  Last of all if all else fails, try reinstalling the game over again.
Make sure that you have enough "RAM" to play the game, if you have too litle
that would explain it and should eather upgrage your ram, or take the game
back to the store if you can.  Have fun.  Any outher questions, feel free to
ask and I will help you the best I can.

        Have you ever heard the old adage,"Sometimes less is more"? It
      applies in this case. Everything you shoot at him on this level
      just increases his strength. If you just keep running & dodging,
      he will eventually run out of energy and leave the level, at
      which time you can follow him to the next level. Kind of a dirty
      trick isn't it!? Have fun!!

crosshairs) and some text... THe graphics are either missing, or bars of
color...
Has anyone had any problems like this, and have they fixed them?  I haven't
tried to get a hold of 3dRealms, since they state in a number of places that
they won't support Build...  but I feel a little cheated that I can't make my
own levels....
