I've just loaded System 7 on my Mac II. Nice operating system. However, I tried to run Falcon 2.2. My F-16 seemed to fly faster than ever. (Wow! MACH 5!) Then when I encountered an enemy, I was instantly obliterated (the game was going too fast...). To top it all off, as soon as I was shot down, I got a System Bomb. (The ultimate crash-and-burn.) I suppose this is Nature's way of telling me that Falcon 2.2 is not compatible with System 7. Does anyone have any insight on this? (ie Is there a System 7-compatible version of Falcon available?) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- | Chuck Welsh, GIST, Inc., 1800 Woodfield Drive, Savoy, IL, 61874 | | INTERNET: gistqa!cwelsh%gistdev@usc.cso.uiuc.edu | | UUCP: {uunet,pur-ee,convex}!uiucuxc!gistdev!gistqa!cwelsh |

I've been able to play Falcon 2.2 under system 7 on my SE/30, although I have learned that there is one thing which will consistantly crash the program. When selecting from the roster, I crash the program if I click anywhere other than in the dialog box that allows you to change the name of the player. Other than that, play appears to be normal. With regard to the lightspeed F-16, is the "slow-down" option checked? I can't explain the differences in our experiences, but good luck anyway. Geoff Weinberg weinberg@eniac.seas.upenn.edu
