These are: 1. The manual refers to right-clicking on the mouse. If, like most Mac users, you use a one-button mouse do as follows: hold the mouse button down while simultaneously pressing the ctrl-key. This gives the same result as right-clicking with a two-button mouse. 2. The manual refers to left-clicking the mouse. If you are using a one- button mouse then simply click the mouse button as you would normally. 3. On page 4 the manual refers to the Reference card for installation instructions. These are given here on page 5 of this Easy Guide. 4. On Page 54 the manual says that on quitting the game you will exit to Windows. You will of course exit to the Mac desktop. 5. On Page 55 the manual mentions the word ÒPCÓ several times. PC refers in this instance to your Mac. 6. Also on Page 55 the manual refers to 3D Card/Software Rendering. Ignore this, it is not relevant for the Mac. 7. On page 60 the manual describes how you connect to the internet. Ignore this section, if you have an internet connection the game will connect you directly so you never see the Window called ÒChoose a connectionÓ. 2 _______________________________________________________ SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Minimum Configuration  Mac OS 8.5  OpenGL 1.1.2 (included on the disc)  QuickTime 4.0 (included on the disc)  Any Mac or Macintosh compatible computer with a  PowerPC G3 processor running at 266 Mhz or faster.  64 MB RAM (with virtual memory set to at least 128 MB)  Supported 3D Accelerator with at least 6MB of VRAM (See Open GL section of this Easy Guide for supported cards).  150 MB free hard disk space  4xCD-ROM drive Recommended Configuration  Any Mac or Macintosh compatible computer with a PowerPC G3 or G4 processor running at 333 Mhz or faster.  128 MB RAM  Supported 3D Accelerator with 16 MB of VRAM (See Open GL section of th…
