Yup ! The game will lock up in the same place every time. In the last Alpha mission just after blowing up the last building to end the level everything locks up. The music will play on for about 30 sec and then it locks up too.
I have looked at the disk and can see no bad scratches. I cleaned the disk and the same thing happens.
Is this a prob with the disk? or a glitch with playing a PS 1 game on a PS 2 console? Or dose God just hate me? :rolleyes:

Re: Game freez on the PS
It's been some time since I played on the PSX, so I can't remember how far into the game I got before slowdown occurred to such an extent it became unplayable. However I think I finished off the Alpha missions, and so as such did not experience the problem you describe.
You could have any of the problems you describe. If you could find another copy of the PSX game, that might answer the disk question, but I am not, at this time, prepared to donate mine, and I imagine you don't wish to purchase another.
Regarding the possible issue with playing on a PS2, are you using graphics enhancements or fast disk access? If so, returning to default settings might resolve the situation.
One final option might be to replay the entire level. Or return to a mission somewhat earlier than the final Alpha.

I did that 3 or 4 times before posting but I did it one more time and got past it. So go figure.
I have not yet seen the slow down that you talked about but I have not been using a lot of units. I can go all the way through Alpha with less than 25 units without loosing any and that is on the Hard setting. So I have kept my unit count down but I have run into high structure counts.
In Alpha, I buld the base and some MG towers. Then some defences at the south end of the map along with 1 repair ... I dont know what to call it ... Tower, I guess. Then as I work east then north I put up a few towers and hardpoints to cover damaged units on the way back to be repaired. Mabe ... I'm guessing ... 50 structures in all. Then when I get to the point where I have to build the foward base I run out of structures and cant build it.
I dont think that 50 is a high count but the PSx version dose. But there must be a reson for the low count and slowdown is a good one.
One other thing, The Beta mission where you must find the commander with the artafact. Anybody know where that sucker is hidding at? I have tried everything and have not found him yet.
