EV:Nova single handedly made me fail World Civ I my freshman year of college (I aced the class next time around). Yea I was getting addicted to games before WoW made it cool......posers. Pffft... until you almost fail college classes from playing games on your state-of-the-art Apple IIe, you have n...

Interesting. I was pretty sure that universal binaries could be built on either platform with the right compiler (although testing them would require separate machines). Are you using XCode, or something else like CodeWarrior? Regarding your Mac problem, I'd personally start by pulling any non-Apple...

Same here. We have 4 PPC Macs (g3, g4, quad g5) and they all get used daily. Only time one has died on me is when our house took a direct lightning strike - and then it was only the onboard ethernet. Now if someone were to give me one of those 8-core Intel desktop Macs, I'd not turn it down, but I h...

I'd love the addition of a crossbow in book 2. It would differ from a normal bow in that you could hold it AND a torch or shield since you need just one hand to fire it, but a bolt wouldn't do as much damage as an arrow. Possibly also could require a certain minimum strength to use it. For even more...

Hm. I managed to get the Destroyer ending, but my screenshot didn't save (running the Mac version). Now I have the fun of doing it again... I prefer the brute-force method, hacking everyone with swords (though I did use the incinerator fuel to soften them up a bit). Backed into the area by the plant...

Let me preface this by saying this is a very enjoyable game... it's nice to see Mac support (and Linux!) as well. Couple things I've found during gameplay that may or may not be known: - chest contents/merchant inventories are not set until you open or access them, so if you save the game right befo...
