Video Games?

[shadows]

I really, REALLY hate bugs in games, especially bugs that make it so you cannot finish the game.

I was playing Pool Of Radiance 2: Ruins of Myth Drannor and I was almost finished. I was in the Elvish Catacombs: The Prisons level and went to a room that housed the Dreadsword Daemonic(a weapon that would have been very good for my party). Alas, the first time I got there I was ambushed by undead and decided to reload. I reloaded the game and the second I went to that area the game made a weird sound and a 'engine.exe has found an error' and I had to click on the 'OK' option in the window that popped up. It then booted me to the desktop! I tried reloading the last save game(it crashed at the same spot) and even a couple of older ones(same thing) to no avail.

So, either all my saves are corrupted(for a game that is no longer supported as it is a 2001/2002 game that did not sell very well) or the engine.exe file got pooched somehow. I am thinking of copying the save files and moving them to a different folder and then reinstalling the game, but I am not sure if that will even work.

I am really cheesed off about this because I was almost done the freaking game and had spent a fair amount of time on it(enough time that I will NOT be starting over). I.....hate......bugs!

I am going to install Baldur's Gate and play it now instead. I know it is a lot more stable as I played it a few years back(but didn't finish it). I am going to play it, Tales of the Sword Coast, Shadows of Ahm, and Throne of Bhaal. Good times to be had!
