Another problem of course is that you cannot buy "toys". Bubble Ice Ageis a better shooter program and has many of the same functions but overall just has a better playing feel.

Then I went to play again and it wouldn't work. I get the opening screen but the words where you choose what you want to do have the end of them missing and just shows some lines for the rest of the words. And the pointer looks funny. When I choose to play I go to that screen and there aren't any balls. The shooter shows and so does the back ground and again the curser looks funny. I downloaded it for my grandson and now I can't get it to work. Any idea's I played this game about 3 times and loved it. Then I went to play again and it wouldn’t work.

Seemed to install fine but immediately got an error that the d3d8.dll couldn't be found. Can anyone shed some light for me? I don't genereally use this computer for GAOTD but our XP system is down.
