Ok, just got the game yesterday.  Aside from not being able to install
Quicktime under OS/2 because of some stupid bind error with KERNEL.386,
installation was ok under plain Windows.  (had to re-install windows
just to play, jeesh.)  So I'm playing, and watching this stupid intro
screen...  Is there ANY way to skip this?  I don't want to sit there
watching 5 minutes of intro every time I play the game....!  So I sit, and
play, and think, "This isn't very much of a game, it's mostly just
cool-looking graphics" (I'll never believe PCMag/PCComputing game reviews
again.... never.)  But I play anyways, sitting and waiting around for
stupid crap to happen that's all just visual.  When I finally get somewhere
into the game, it crashes; some error about not finding "arrive.qt" or
something.  I look for it on the CD, it's not there, but maybe the error
is somewhere else....

So my question is:
Is there a way to skip the intro screen
Is the problem I had with my video driver (ATI Ultra 640x480)

BTW, if you don't have this game, look at it on someone else's computer;
I don't think it's worth more than $30, tops.  I'm getting kinda sick
of the crap that manufacturers are putting out, exploiting the CD market...
Grrrr.....
