As someone who hates arcade style games (except centipede) and just had his
first 1,000,000 Crystal Quest game, I think saying I recommend it is an
understatement.

>Multifinder compatible,

yeah. Real problem. Which brings up the following question: what games CAN
be run off a hard disk under multifinder? Most fo the things I like to use
to waste time (CQ, Rogue) wont' run under MF, so I have to reboot, which
means I can't use them waiting for a download to finish. sigh.

I almost hate to start this argument up again, but I can't complain about a
copy-protected game, ESPECIALLY if the game lets me run a copy with a key
disk. Double especially if I can load it on my hard disk. I'm against CP of
business programs, but CP for games is more justifiable, especially
innocuous CP like CQ has.

I just wish I could load Shanhai on my hard disk.

Rumor has it that it'll show at Macworld. Rumor also has it that it's a new
set of scenarios using the same underlying program, so I'd guess it is
doubtful that it'll run on a Mac2. I wouldn't be terribly surprised or
disappointed if I'm wrong.
