The launch sequence for this game is mentioned in Le Grenier du Mac's entry for this game in French. It's a critical piece of information that English speakers will need to know.

In addition, this game has some rough edges that weren't smoothed out during porting:

  1. After you launch this game, if you're stuck on a white screen, you'll have to start the game by holding down Command and the J key. Grenier claims that this is only necessary under emulation, but I have a Quadra 800 where this is required to start the game every time.
  2. All numbers MUST be entered from the number pad.
  3. When the game prompts you to input an "F-key" (ex. F1, F4...), hold down ctrl and type in the corresponding number instead.

Great game, just not one of the better examples of a Mac-like game. Smile
