For anyone who's worried that Blizzard is moving the WarCraft series to the RPG genre, put those fears aside.
WarCraft III, when announced, was indicated to be a role-playing stra…

Should I get Starcraft? — #13
It's one of the most enjoyable and absorbing games I've ever played.
I can't say how, but it beats WarCraft II.
I'm still playing it. Into the Protoss scenario, "Homeworld" level.…

Should I get Starcraft? — #15
Well, I went out and bought it over the weekend, read the story line in the manual and began playing it. I like it -- a lot.
It's similar enough to WCII that learning to play is …
Baldur's Gate on a rev B iMac... — #2
Hate to reply first to my own post but...Baldur's Gate just arrived here so I'll let you know how it is in a few hours .
I'm still quite suprised! I ordered this thing at nine la…
Baldur's Gate on a rev B iMac... — #3
OK, sorta off-topic but...
Is Baulder's Gate a good game for the Mac? I've considered getting it but I want to play a demo version first.
Does anyone know where I can download …

I'm running baldur on a Rev C iMac with 160 megs o' whopping ram, and it runs just fine.
Baldur's Gate on a rev B iMac... — #5
I'm running Baldur's on a 233 Powerbook. The game runs slowly, but is playable. Two annoyances - hard to control the cursor, and frequent crashes. The game crashes even with minima…
Baldur's Gate on a rev B iMac... — #6
I'm running on a Rev C iMac with 96MB of RAM. The game crashes all the time. It's gotten unfun to play. I'll do one more round of extensions t'shooting based on some info I read at…
Baldur's Gate on a rev B iMac... — #7
I've been running it for the past few weeks without problem on my Beige G3 300 (128 MB RAM).
I use a minimal extension set and I have all the effects (weather, transparent shadow…
Baldur's Gate on a rev B iMac... — #8
UUUUggghhhh!
So I was cutting down on the extensions and some how hosed my OS. In the end I had to do a clean install. What a mess. As soon as things are fully running again I'll …
Baldur's Gate on a rev B iMac... — #9
It is working great on my iBook SE 128 megs, full extension set with VM on.
Not a single crash, runs fast enough although the cursor is sometimes a little hard to control with the …
Baldur's Gate on a rev B iMac... — #10
From what I've read here and at MacFixIt it seems that 128 MB of RAM is the sweet spot for this game. Graphsim should state that 128 is the minimum memory to run the game NOT 64 MB…
Diablo II choppy on iMac 350 — #2
From what I can gather, and I haven't played the game on a Mac yet, the problem is install size. You say that the CD is constantly whirring...well this would lead me to believe tha…
Diablo II choppy on iMac 350 — #3
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…
Diablo II choppy on iMac 350 — #5
From what I'VE heard, stories of Diablo II running perfectly on an iBook of any kind should be few and far between. Firstly, the iBook only has HALF of the minimum required video m…

I think we're stuck until the next blizzard update. I'm running diabloII on my pismo 400 and have experienced similar problems. they seem to disappear after i've been playing the…
Diablo II choppy on iMac 350 — #7
When I run the game, I always use a utility called "Finder Quitter" to, obviously, quit the finder first so that I can allocate as much physical memory as possible to the game. I d…

So, I'm not sure if you all are experiencing a problem with the ATI card not being supported in D2, but in case you haven't seen tips floating around the web...
This link contains…
Diablo II choppy on iMac 350 — #9
Yeah, I have seen both of those... haven't tried them, though, because D2 must recognize the card if it allows me to run in RAVE mode (and why would I want to use OpenGL if RAVE is…

Here's my experience with D2...
I'm on a G4/450 w/384 megs of RAM and the latest drivers/updates etc. (200 megs assigned to D2)
First, tried full install of D2 onto a partition th…
Diablo II choppy on iMac 350 — #11
I wouldn't expect the performance of Diablo 2 to change much between now and any patches that come out. Some of the problems you're talking about seem more RAM related than anythi…
Diablo II choppy on iMac 350 — #12
The box says that 64 MB is bare bottom, and runs perfectly on a friend's brand new PIII 800 with 96 MB (and a 48x CD drive), so I still think It's CD access time, not RAM, that is …
Diablo II choppy on iMac 350 — #13
Isn't the stock Toshiba 5x DVD also 24x CD? I've had no problems with it. Don't think D2 really uses the Movie CD yet, except maybe the intro movie (couldnt' tell 'cuz I got both c…
