Thief--Deadly Shadows won't run properly - 27/05/04 05:45 AM
OK OK. It is not generally regarded as an RPG--more of a 1st person nonshooter. Anyhow, Thief #2 was 1 of my all time favorites so I bought the game today. It would not run properly. Frustrating. No cursor. No text on the buttons.
Bear in mind that my system meets recommended requirements as listed on Gamespot. After spending more time than I could ever want to trying to resolve the problems I rechecked the system requirements--everthing ok until I reached the bottom: Laptops are not supported. That leaves me out as that is all I have at home right now that works--a very very nice laptop, top of the line for gaming that I could buy at the time -- 12/02. With mouse, keyboard, monitor and my stereo hooked up to it you can't even tell it is a laptop, but it won't run the stupid game. I hope the store will take it back.
