hello rustious. i also took the lyberty of pulling out that old game i never finished in high school and decided to beat it in my free time. Mine crashed all the time, or froze up, needed to close, etc. The software was a mess. there is actually a wikipedia explanation of that piece of crap game with links to further explain the problems you face. my problem is perhaps the greatest of all. I've all but beaten the game. apparently the last step requires that you possess all the sigils. but when i cleanse a shrine, the sigil floats to about 40 feet in the air (out of reach) and can't get it down. luckily i was able to install a cheat that allowed me to collect them by floating up just like you might in Quake when you're dead, but there is one sigil....just one...that is visible but cannot be physically picked up. So i can't beat the game, and i'm like one step away, and nobody plays this peice of **** game anymore....so I"M ****ED!!!! >:C
