WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE A DEFECTIVE DISK

Each of our games undergoes extensive playtesting prior to its release. Through this process we hope to
uncover and correct any errors in programming . However, due to the complex nature of our simulations,
some program errors may go undetected until after publication. In addition to errors in the program, there are
occasionally problems with the disk itself. We experience the industry standard of approximately a 3 to 5%
failure rate of duplicated disks. Before assuming that a disk is defective, make sure to check your disk drive.
Up to 95% of the disks returned to us as defective will run fine on our computer systems. Often the problem
is with a disk drive that needs servicing for alignment, speed , or cleaning.

Should you have a defective disk, please return the disk only (keep all other parts of the game) to our
Customer Support Department, along with a note describing the problem you have encountered. A replace-
ment disk will be provided upon our receipt of the defective disk.

Should you uncover an error in the program , return both your game disk and any "save game" disks to our
Customer Support Department. Please enclose a description of what was taking place in the game when the
error occurred. Upon correction of the program error, we will return an updated disk to you.

Always make sure to include your name , address , and daytime telephone number with any correspondence.
We will do our best to see that any problems are corrected as soon as possible.
