Note to self: Don't try to play piece-of-shit Shockwave games that lock up your computer while in the middle of an important and very long data transfer.

Beware Mozilla 1.0/Win2K users.

Yeah, and beware WinXP/MSIE 6.0 users, too. First the stupid Shockwave plug-in closed all my browser windows to install itself, then the Shockwave doodad itself locked up my machine. I'm sure it's a lovely game, but I will never know.

Mozilla 1.0/Win98 works fine. You have to admit the poster warned it was Shockwave. The 3-d actually performs pretty well on my machine, much faster than Java.

I had my machine (WinXP/Phoenix 0.4) lock up while playing, too. But when I did get it to play, hey, that's pretty fun.

That said: "Ulllllll-ri-ka-ka-ka!"

WinXP Pro worked fine here - but maybe I can blame it for my 117 (out of a par 50)?

Grrr...

I like kittens. Mice are better though, they scare elephants.

On Mac OS X / IE 5, hole 8 is almost impossible — the ball falls right through the last green! You have to jump it straight into the hole from the low green — took me 40 shots.

Finished in 124 shots.
