Somewhere in the past I have read the since the IIci and IIfx have built in 32 quickdraw that a few unlikely wasted programs don't work. Once the programmers adhere and support apple's protocols and rules then the progam will work. So this may be the reason (interjected with opinion). Hope this helps. By the way, I have ordered it and have not seen it yet, but got it for 18 bucks. Great follow up to the original!!! Sincerely Todd All my comments are my own, not yours!

I have the Welltris from Spectrum Holobyte. Great game that works fine on the MAC II. I have tried it on the MAC II ci but with no luck. Is'nt it supported? If not, why was'nt it published? Is there a work around?

When I bought it in Japan, on the package a label said "for IIci, IIfx". So I bought and went home, and found monochrome one only to work well. And I read the label again ... I found the label said "for IIci, IIfx (monochrome only)" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It seems it still isn't upgraded now. --- Takaaki Higuchi (thiguchi@japan.sun.com) Nihon Sun Microsystems K.K.

Just when I got home yesterday, I found an envelope from Spectrum H.B. with a new DISK 2 and the corrected version, suitable to work up to system 6.0.5. I have checked it on the Hebrew 6.0.4 system on MAC II ci and it was GREAT!!! The nice thing about it, that I got the disk for FREE!!! *-Doron-*

I'm getting pretty tired of waiting on S.H. Anyone hear anything more about the title-bar bug in Falcon 2.2?

Is there a work around? Version 1.1 was just very recently released. I believe the upgrade took care of 6.0.5 support and 32CQD as well.

It's quiet annoying. May be version 2.3 (?) will be fix it. My MAC IIci hungs while quiting from the game (no matter if it's under Multifinder or not).
