My Lemmings and Cannon Fodder games run fine (I got the DOSbox like you suggested) but Sensi won't run. Is it possible I downloaded an Amiga version somewhere?

Is it possible to transfer the info to another disc, write it onto my hard-drive, or maybe something else?

The only gripe i have about the game is they should have left it as we all remeber it with the old style looking down at dots, fast game play.

I do regularly visit museums and/or "ruins", but quite a lot of Athenians haven't bothered to ever visit the Acropolis.<br /><br />As for entertainment. Hmmm... People tend to listen to (horrid) international pop and local folk-pop shite and dance while drinking murderously and over-priced drinks at kitsch bars. I and most of the people I know tend to go to bars or a select few clubs that would go for a rather more rock or jazzy feel... Mind you concerts here are ludicrously expensive, starting from 50 euros per person...<br /><br />Uhm.. there's more... I'll get back to it eventually...
