Aparently not. Just pretend this is the right CD.

It's only using 0.86% of my memory

Since someone mentioned StarForce, I felt I just had to throw in my angry opinion: :? StarForce is a *CENSORED* Copy Prevention sceme. It demands to run as a system driver with access to absolutely every part of your computer, overriding the normal workflow of CD-ROMS, DVD-drives and other things. ...

Not that'd they still be your allies after you attack them. Isn't the system more like risk (the board game) than any other game though? In that your alliance doesn't stand for anything more than one another's word.

I'm new to these forums, but ever since a friend of mine told me about Defcon I'd been mulling over an idea reguarding Nevil Shute's book, On The Beach and was curious about if it'd be possible or what you guys thought of it. On The Beach was written during the 50s about WW3, the northern hemisphere...
