Got AvP and an Atari Jaguar from eBay. Really don't need the software for the Mac now. I'm sorry it had to end up this way. I really didn't want to go retro, but I have a very r…

It's definitely not dead; the final stages are just taking longer than expected likely because of delays in QA and final production tasks that Fox is having problems with. It's cl…

Where are you hearing / readings this? I would like to believe what you say (God knows I want the game). Do you have any sources that you can point me to?

Diablo II choppy on iMac 350 — #1

I got Diablo II about a week and a half ago, and I've really enjoyed it, except that it will, sometimes, run VERY choppily. I will sometimes end up missing a good 50% of the frames…

I did the "reccommended install" of 900 MB (allows multiplayer & single player). I suppose I could have done the "Full Install" of 1.5 GB, but the installer tells me that all t…

Can you make an image of the CD and run it off that? That way it totally avoids the iMac's CD Drive which isn't that fast. But if you want to conserve your hard drive space, then I…
