    I've heard that this game is not playable on Windows 7. Is this going to be patched, or is there any way around this without messing with Windows? Or is this even true at all?

    I don't know if it's true but Windows 7 has a feature that will run programs designed for Windows XP. It doesn't always work but it's worth a try I guess.

    I remember Dave talking about this game on a Bombcast before Win 7 came out.  It was buggy then.

    Only an idiot would say get a Mac, because a Mac has no games!

    @JJWeatherman: Yep, Windows 7 has a compatibility mode for every previous version of windows. It's really sweet, I love it. You just rightclick, select properties and then click the "compatibility" tab. You can set it all the way back to compatibility with Windows 95
    @Madyew: And it's buggy on everything. The game is just buggy all the time.

    Alright. I still really want to check this game out. Is it worth it even with all of the bugs?
