I think it's interesting to note that when I bought these two games together there was a marked difference in the price.
Africa 1943 was £24.99, but Kursk 1943 was only £4.97.
Now, if these two games were originally released not too far apart, why the big difference in price?
Maybe PC World, (where I bought the games from), had already had some/many copies of Kursk returned as not working, and they have significantly reduced the price in an effort to "get rid" of the rest of the Kursk stock?
Maybe I am entirely wrong, but the pricing looks very odd to me.
I am now going to PC World to exchange my copy of Kursk for one of their other remaining copies of Kursk.
However I am not confident that they will play either, as I remember noticing, when I bought these games last week, that the other copies of Kursk, on the shelf, looked as if they had been re-packaged in cling film. I made a point of getting the only copy of Kursk that looked as if was in it's original cellophane wrapping.
We shall see.
But the basic question remains, if Africa 1943 will play perfectly, why won't Kursk 1943 even install properly, or play at all.
