I can start up the gpl demo, I can play it for about 30 seconds before it locks up. After it locks up, I restart my computer, then i try and play again, if i click on any button, the game locks up. My system is: Tyan s1836dlu motherboard p2 266 128 megs of ram 9.1 gig scsi hard drive 1 diamond 12 meg v2 card matrox millenium 2 8 meg agp for 2d i think that's enough information on my computer, right? If I reinstall the game, i'll be able to play for 30 seconds again before it crashes. Also, when I am playing the game, the sound is completely messed up, i can hear stuff, but its basically gargle, fast gargle when i rev the engine, slow gargle when i let it idle. Also, video is very bad. I have to turn the graphics all the way down to be able to play without it being extremely choppy. I don't want to buy the game just yet, because i'm not sure if i'm going to like it or not! So if anyone can help, please do. thanks!

The demo didn't work for me either... but I found a copy of GPL for $12 at EBAY and picked it up anyway because the game looked cool. Final version works great on my 200mmx pentium 80ram with STB Blackmagic 12mb card. And I was right... the game is really cool and very ***ive.
