Yeah that is fine use it here are couple more.


I have the old pc cd which has the American revolt expansion lying around somewhere, I was gutted when I found out i could run it on windows but with no sound and it ran too fast.
On Freesynd you are unable to save your game at the moment so might not be worth purchasing yet.

Ideal added them to it:

The next version judging by their website plans to implement a few high priority/needed things for the game to work properly, sadly saved games aren't on the list yet - i guess no point until the game timer is implemented or you will never know when you have saved heh.

Might be worth speaking to the seller with a view to make a bid that includes postage in the price, it should only cost a few quid to post to the u.k.

He has re-listed it here:-
