Okay, I know I reported that Hasbro's Atari('s?) Greatest Hits for PC
was available, but I have yet to find it anywhere. Has anyone seen
this in stores yet? My local Software Etc. found it in the computer
as available, but it wasn't on the shelf. This is the sequel to (but
also include) Atari Arcade Hits #1.

I finally saw it at my local EB yesterday. Thanks for the replies.

I picked this up from babbages the other day. Great package. Although i have
one glitch. Crystal Castles doesn't have full sound. When the bees come there
is no warning and no sound at all when they are there. Also picking up the gems
makes no sound. A minor problem and it may be my hardware. Otherwise a keeper.

It is likely a hardware/driver problem. I've seen it on one other system
with an old generation SoundBlaster. (It's not that the SB has a problem,
it's that the DirectX driver for it can't respond to the rapid parameter
changes of the sound.) I don't believe that a driver update will fix it,
but you can try.

I suspected as much. Thanks for the info.
