I downloaded it, but only because I have a cable modem, now. Before
that,
I wouldn't have bothered.
The game starts up okay, but I haven't been able to keep it running for
more than about 5 minutes before it crashes. And I haven't had much time
to mess with it. I was hoping it would work okay.

Of course, that 5 minutes certainly looked pretty. :-)
