The intro video plays fine, but once you get to the main menu the screen is black.  Have attempted to click my way through the dark to get in-game to see if that works, but unfortunately the way the menu is laid out it is tricky to do.  Zeus uses the same engine and I suspect also shares this issue.

This could be a case of 565 modes not working properly

fairly sure this game uses a 16bit depth as it doesn't suffer the colour glitches that most others do
