I played this game when I was young and really enjoyed it, I'm considering buying it . I'm just wondering if you are still able to generate monsters from CD's or how they've updated that aspect of the game (many PCs don't even have dvd drives now)? I always found that part fun, never knowing what you were going to get when trying a new CD, but also being able to get the same monster reliably when trying an old one....

Any advice appreciated, I will end up getting refund if i can't sort it but i really wanted to play.

If I understand, at rank 3, with 7,000g on week 4 of may, I should get a house upgrade. Why wouldn't this trigger?

It initially did, I played for several hours, now the splash screen for selecting MH 1 or 2 will not open. Please fix this as multiple people are having this issue.

Since these are old games Data transfer could take time so what they could do is create online battle server where player can login and upload their monsters ahead. Now the next time they want to battle online, just take the online data available and create different match up. 1) Anything goes 2) Rank 3) Monster over all strength 4) Types Then create a ranking board. This will re-ignite interest in monster rancher again....
