Game seems to be great but my wife loaded the game and it is apparently loaded with unwanted extras. I can not say for sure if these were completely hidden or just a check box that the spouse did not uncheck. I had to remove at least four different programs related to incredimail. The main application, a toolbar, correct my keyword URL search, and some type of product belonging to conduit engine. Now I do not believe that any of this is labeled mal-ware but it is certainly unwanted. As a rule I have the family forbidden from loading any software that wants to install a toolbar.
Now I did not go back to verify but it was the only install on Friday and these were all new Friday. That being said fun game but watch for the extras.
Loads and works perfectly on Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Thanks a lot.
Doesn't run on Win7 64-bit. Loads but then nothing.
It works on Windows 7 Ultimate for some of the guys. Why don't you switch off the Aero feature and play the game. I can't actually make out what's wrong here.
Can't load it on Win7 64bits... Crash.
I just installed on my Win7 Basic 64 bit and it works perfectly. Are you using Ultimate? I had problems with Ultimate version before. I'm going to install Ulimate version tomorrow so i'll check out then.
You can also try new free indie game: A flipping good time.

Not a fan of any site that asks for my CC info for a "free" game. I'll pass on this one.
I have fond memories of this game. Me and my brother used to play this game, and it was so much fun. My brother was way ahead of me while playing this. I still can't play it nicely :D, and I have given up on it.. LOL. But, its a great fun game. Happy to see that its still in active development.
Have played this game like for ages. Its fun and i love the game.:-)
Can't get it to load on windows 7
Won't work on my Win7-64, tried a few of the usual compat options. So might indeed be a 64-bit problem, since other poster got it going on 32-bit. Unusual though, first little game like this I've had fail.
Also watch out for the toolbar "offered" during install, you need to untick it.
Try to run in in compatibility mode for Windows Xp. Right click on the shortcut icon on the desktop, Choose compatibility tab, put a checkmark in the box beside "run in compatibality mode for, and choose an earlier system. Usually Windows XP works for me. You may have a 64 bit system and you need to tell it to run the game for a 32 bit.
It loaded ok on my Win7 32bit laptop.
I think my kids will like this. Thanks!
