If anyone knows of one, let me know.

An earlier poster suggested removing the MATRIX.CFG file from the installed game before playing it for the first time. This not only allows one to load a saved game from
Coundown to Doomsday, but also allows you to specify graphics and sound options. I did this (mainly because I wanted to import my characters from the earlier game), and I've been able to play
Matrix Cubed with VGA graphics and SoundBlaster music and sound effects, just like the YouTube videos of this game show.
I know I got through the ratwurst den in Losangelorg (to save the children, of course!) when I originally played this from the floppy disk version decades ago, but it's been a
long time since then. When the whole party can attack them, it's not really a problem, but to actually rescue the kids, 1 character has to go through a tunnel and tackle about 5 or 6 of them single-handed. My Desert Runner warrior has plenty of grenades and a grenade launcher, but after that first grenade has been switching to her lighter weapons -- and getting killed by the rats before she can finish them off. Since she's got the highest STR score of anyone in the party, perhaps I should also give her a rocket launcher or plasma thrower temporarily, so she can give the rats a dose of that,
then a grenade, and
then switch to the lighter weapons? Which of the lighter weapons are most effective against unarmored but nimble animals like ratwurst? They seem to dodge a lot of needle gun shots (and probably would bolt gun shots, too, since they work the same way), so I've been trying laser pistols & rocket pistols instead (for the high rate of fire). Another character has a microwave gun, which only seems to be useful against unarmored animals, so perhaps I could give that to my warrior, too.
Any suggestions?
