On my Basilisk and SheepShaver installations, the Sierra patch reports success and modifies the application, but I find that I still need to set the date back to 1992 to get past the title screen.

Sorry to reply to you with another question, but did you changed the color depth in Basilisk II or in Mac OS X?

I've added the emulators needed to play this game on an Intel Mac Box.

I used to get all SCI games working on my G3 B&W, but suddenly they stopped working just like this. Larry 1 and SQ 1 remakes and KQ5 keep getting stuck on an infinite loop. I have Mac OS 9.2.2 and 8.6 installed on my mac. Is there a way to fix this?

It works for me bro. but i'm having major issues with the sound, maybe I could send you a save game from the start of the game?
