Have you tried running it in Classic on OS X? I have seen original versions of MacWrite, MacDraw, MacPaint, etc. run in Panther's Classic environment.
Yeah, no go. The application starts and I can see it's menus, but it will not draw it's window on the screen. I still run MacDraw Pro (note Apples Mail spell check does not recognize MacWrite, MacDraw, MacPaint and flags them as misspells) at work on a beige beast running 10.2.8.
Yes, I've noticed that. Ditto for words like NeXTSTEP, OPENSTEP, etc. Too bad your game won't run. :(
Fun stuff. Seriously, I love OS X and would never go back.
Particularly with all the free stuff out there. I am just starting to give Open Office a try and look forward to giving M$ Office the boot.
Yup, since it's BSD Unix underneath, there are a lot of free options. Let us know what you think of Open Office; I wasn't impressed with it and have Office 2004 myself.
