Does anyone know of an upgrade of Falcon which runs on a 68030 based machine? Every time I try to run it on my Mac IIx, it crashes. It won't even load properly unless I turn color off and put the screen in monochrome mode. Even then, and with the SLOW DOWN selection designed for the 68020, the bird moves way too fast to control, and eventually the system bombs in a big way. I'll admit its pretty exhilirating for the few seconds it works, but that's all it ever lasts. Falcon is one of the best games/diversions/simulators/whatever on the Mac and could be even better in color. I hope something is in the works; in the meantime I'll be doing Mach 50 or so.
