Does anyone have a functioning copy of this game? This one has a fatal glitch where the entire map clears after a few turns, removing everything but desolation (including the shelter you're supposed to be standing in) and then kills you. Based on the discussion I see here, someone must have a working copy that lets you play for more than 10 turns, but I can't find one anywhere. The copy at HOTU has the same problem. I'm dying to get further into this game.

Thanks in advance!

The version I got from the site works fine, however I don't know what you mean by turns since it is not really a turn based game.

If there is, in fact, a problem with the archive I can create a new (and different) one. Is the problem some kind of copy protection?

The problem is a glitch. Between months, the game sometimes corrupts and wipes the world file, throwing you into a blank world and deleting your save.

The fix is to save the game every couple months or so and copy-backup the world.

That glitch was in the released version of the game too...I found my old copy in a box and got it running....to the same world-delete error.

I also have all of the tchotchkies that came with it...a couple of fake nuclear fallout shelter guides with game stuff hidden inside. I can copy them for anyone who would like.

I also purchased a copy of this game when i was 10 years old. The game was released with the fatal month bug, making the game unplayable. Its a shame cause once u understand how it works and all the amazing things you can build combining resources you can build your dream city & garden - this game is actually quiet amazing, infact, the FIRST 'Minecraft-like' game of its kind! Never took off because of this bug!

Anyone have a solution, i REALLY want to play this game!!
