WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE A DEFECTIVE DISK Each of our games undergoes extensive playtesting prior to its release . Through this process we hope to uncover and correct any errors in programming. However, due to the complex nature of our simulations, some program errors may go undetected until after publication . In addition to errors in the program, there are occasionally problems with the disk itself. We experience the industry standard of approximately a 3 to 5% failure rate of duplicated disks. Before assuming that a disk is defective, make sure to check your disk APPLE D AND ffiM COMPATIBLE COMPUIBR INFORMATION: drive.
