This hit a nerve on me because I had asked a friend of mine if Powermonger ran
under 2.0 on his 3000... he replied no. I plan to get 2.0 on my 500 when it
comes out but I bought this stupid game because I thought it looked cool from 
the demonstration of it I saw in a store. <incidentally I dont play it much
because its a little kludgy to play.>

If it isnt 2.0 compatible, what is bullfrog going to do, if anything? What can
I do since my future updated 500 wont be able to run a $40 package I bought?

Incidentally Lemmings is the last game that I purchased that I bought and knew
it had copy protection. While I dont have a HD now, I plan to get one soon and
would like to keep some games on it <of course not all but that option should 
not be taken away from me.> and its annoying to see IBM versions of the games
mount on HD's while the amiga versions dont <F19 stealth comes to mind.>
