Where did you buy it? Have you tried reinstalling the game?

Hmm, that's a bit odd. @Blackthorne, @Klytos any ideas?

Hmm.  yeah, this bit of code referenced has to do with saved games.  The file might be corrupted from the power outtage.

I dont mind starting over this game evokes some serious nostalgia so I just want to play it.  Any ideas at all would be helpful since I am functionally a computer simpleton.

Do you have any other saved game slots?  Have you tried another saved game before the particular one that's not working?

If so, try it -- it might save you a lot of re-play time.

I do but the problem is not a corrupt save game but rather the game itself will not boot up.  I just get an error message.

This is very odd, indeed... I'll try to look into it more.

this could be the ags or even windows,
did you run any sfc /scannow to make sure windows wasnt effected?

could be as simple as registry OR
even STEAM.

there are guides on how to wipe steam stuff without erasing all your games (if you are on steam)
if on gog no need there. just make sure to erase and reinstall gog client imo

power outages  rarely cause issues with MOST games minus checkpoints, as they can cause corruption in saves but this as you pointed out is a booting game issue,
leads me towards windows or the client(steam) being corrupt not just the game files or save..

easy way to check is have a friend test the save, but again if the issue is the game wont boot
any errors?
just nothing happens?

oddly that only error you put out IS ags code error.. idk mate!

yep yep

when in doubt, erasing the core files of steam (but not steam apps etc) fixes MOST corruption within steam and its cloud/api

whoot whooot glad it worked mate
