[comp.sys.mac.games] Sky Shadow - love it and hate it!

<18215MES@MSU.BITNET> (07/13/90)

He folks!
I got Sky Shadow as a gift, and enjoy it quite a bit!

A really great game....

However, It seems to freeze up quite a bit on my Iici, and
will not work on my IIcx with Apple 2 page display. ALso,
on the IIci, creating the draggable window in multifinder works,
however, any attempt to drag it results in a really bizzare
snapping of most of the window to an area about 1 inch

above the viewable screen... also parts of it end up on and off the
lower left screen and I think the right? --

Anyway, Waaaaaaaaa! I can't make a draggable window in multifinder!

But I do like the game a lot!

1) has anyone else noticed a lot of freezing on IIci's,
and
2) About the 16 color mode limit...
   What's wrong with 256 color mode? Would it slow the game down
   too much? (OR do they know the new low end color macs will
  only have 16 color mode, (and will probably be the game machine
   of choice) :-)  ??
  Would it be possible for the game to set the color mode to
   16 if it sensed 256?

Just curious...

Enjoy!  :)   Mark Sartor (18215mes@msu.bitnet)
