Thanx for the advice guys.
I'm in Ireland by the way
I decided to buy the game from Amazon as you say on the Revival label. Hopefully that should sort me out. They wouldn't ship it here directly, so my mum(who lives in the UK) is gonna post it on.
In the meantime, I might tinker a bit with the old copy just to see is I can get it running. The tips look useful.
Thanx again fellas
