    For some reason it doesn't work when I tried to view it. Just get a blank page with the website URL in the middle.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    What browser are you trying to view it with? I think the majority of people use IE - I watched it with Safari no problem...

    I found out the other day that my mate has gone completely over to Emulation as he couldn't get any decent web browsers or new parts.

    I don't think he will mind me posting this snippet from an email I received off him "Sadly I sold my soul, or rather my Amiga a few years ago. I pushed and pushed to keep it as the main machine but was having increasing problems getting any web browsers that were up to the job and finding hardware and software that I needed too."

    I have been watching the poll that I started about the real thing vs emulation and this is what prompted me to write the thread...

    I think the majority of people use IE
    Sadly the shift has gone back in IEs favour at the moment. But this is down to Vista and most people buying new PCs just using the browser it comes with. Therefore IE7 has gained in usage lately.

    This is a sad trend to see as IE is complete crap compared to every other browser out there. It is now about the only browser that is still not web standards compliant and IE7 is actually still using the old IE6 engine.

    But it isn't quite as bad as it seems. Firefox hasn't completely fallen off the map. In my current server logs (based on 4 servers I maintain) IE has about a 60% market share and Firefox about a 34% share. Before Vista was released Firefox and IEs market share was roughly 49% FF to 45% IE.

    It is sad to see that Opera still only has about a 2.3% market share and Safari about a 2.1% share. Opera should be far ahead of Safari because it is a great browser compared to Safari which basically isn't! Although Safari is still a lot more standards compliant than IE.

    Lets hope that the soon to be released IE8 will finally be more compliant and nicer to use.

    Anyway, back to the actual question. I use FF2 for most of my browsing, and all video and flash works fine. Just not this one. I've also tried it in IE6, IE7, Opera and Safari on this PC and non work. Therefore it could be my spyware. malware or other scanner blocking it from loading.
