Great! Yes please get in touch with Richard Goodwin
richard@iconbar.com. I'm sure he'd be pleased to show the review. Screenshots would be nice as well.

The review's up at http://www.acornarcade.com/reviews/commercial/descent2/ but is currently not linked to while we wait for some extra info. However, it was only reviewed by one person because I couldn't keep it loaded long enough to get a decent gameplay out of it - we could add a second short review to the page if it gets to me in the next few days...

Thanks for the review...

Since I am in the midst of an update for the game I would be interested in getting more info about the crashes.Also I would like a copy of a pilot that doesn't load.

Please send this info to me not RCI as I don't seem to be getting any bug reports friom them atm.

The address to send reports to is :
david@acornemus.freeserve.co.uk

Since I haven't had the reported problems on my machine as much info as possible would be helpful.

Nope.

Got some useful stuff from Simon Challands via RCI -> he got a crash all the way on level 22. I know have a solution for it wink - or at least a way round it smile

But that is all...

Nope
Sadly I lost my bug logging module when some program went into an infinite loop and ended up breaking the directory in that part of the boot sequence (my fix was a bit too simple - I bought a new hard drive and reformated the old one to put in another machine wink )

Recently I haven't had the time to play games (or design graphics, or icons, or finish writing programs unhappy ) but I have however sent full reports to Andrew @ RCI in the past.
