Figaro, check out the program called "orange PC."  I've seen it in action and it works very well.

Agree with DoctorYo

Figaro, it'll be better to you to get Celeron box and you'll  be instantly able to play AH, WB 3D, etc.

I abandoned AGW when I moved from WB to AH.  I didn't see the point in posting AH news there, since it is available to WB players here.  I'm sorry to learn that some have made themselves a pest, and hope that it doesn't last.

Figaro, you'll certainly be welcome in this community.  Get a Celeron box, and jump in.

Why don't we support Amigas too? I'm sure there's still some people out there who refuse to purchase a decent/inexpensive/modern machine.

Heck while we are at it lets support: Atari, Collecovision, Commodore 64 and ooh how about those little pong consoles as well?

I find it extremely amusing that Mac users have to shove their "poor choice in purchasing" down developers throats. It's like purchasing a horse, and then getting pissed off that gas stations don't supply hay to feed your "advanced" mode of transporation.

That was uncalled for HaHa.
There is no use becoming antagonistic to a mac user who shows up here and is polite to us. I am sure he is aware of all this and more besides.

Box or Emulator will do it, We made Falcon 4 run on a Red hat, so if THAT worked...my bet is that you should be able to run it ...

I can only say that in a previous job, there was a bad time for all of us and we were all in a no-win situation.  We had to suck up a lot of slings and arrows from that, but that's in the past now.  It sucked, but way more for us there at the time than any of you.  I like what we're doing now, what we're trying to achieve, and how we are structured.  While many people think that having so small a staff is a handicap, we know that it is in fact a strength and that's why we are this way.  We'd much rather be an Id than and Ion Storm type of company.  While it's not my call on a future Mac version, my personal restraint in the matter is that more moving parts equals more things to go wrong.  The economics aren't solely determined by the cost of having a Mac programmer and the revenue the Mac side produces.

I'm sorry too about some of the tirades other people put on because of the fact that we don't yet support a Mac version.  I fail to see the logic behind it.  We're going to produce a Mac version because lots of Mac users say our product and/or company sucks?

Glad to hear you enjoy what you are doing now Pyro.  (I must say that it shows.   )  There is nothing worse than being stuck with a job in which you get no enjoyment from what you are doing.
