Does anyone have a functioning copy of this game? This one has a fatal glitch where the entire map clears after a few turns, removing everything but desolation (including the shelter you're supposed to be standing in) and then kills you. Based on the discussion I see here, someone must have a working copy that lets you play for more than 10 turns, but I can't find one anywhere. The copy at HOTU has the same problem. I'm dying to get further into this game.

Thanks in advance!

The version I got from the site works fine, however I don't know what you mean by turns since it is not really a turn based game.

If there is, in fact, a problem with the archive I can create a new (and different) one. Is the problem some kind of copy protection?

The problem is a glitch. Between months, the game sometimes corrupts and wipes the world file, throwing you into a blank world and deleting your save.

The fix is to save the game every couple months or so and copy-backup the world.

That glitch was in the released version of the game too...I found my old copy in a box and got it running....to the same world-delete error.

I also have all of the tchotchkies that came with it...a couple of fake nuclear fallout shelter guides with game stuff hidden inside. I can copy them for anyone who would like.

I also purchased a copy of this game when i was 10 years old. The game was released with the fatal month bug, making the game unplayable. Its a shame cause once u understand how it works and all the amazing things you can build combining resources you can build your dream city & garden - this game is actually quiet amazing, infact, the FIRST 'Minecraft-like' game of its kind! Never took off because of this bug!

Anyone have a solution, i REALLY want to play this game!!

I've tried patching it myself, but can't figure out exactly where the bug is. It would probably be easier to rebuild the game from scratch than find one mistake in thousands of lines of un-commented code.
