I'm guessing whatever runs on Catalina will also run on the new M1 Apple Silicon Macs. Is it only Queen's Wish and Geneforge 1: Mutagen that work on Catalina?

If I purchase Escape From the Pit for Macintosh, will I also for no additional cost be able to play the Windows version when it comes out and the iPad version if I ever get an iPad? Thank you!

I'm sure all the beta testers are having way too much fun playing Avadon beta to be reading the forums, and they are probably bound by a non-disclosure agreement anyway.

I miss the keyboard shortcuts of the original Avernum Trilogy.

From what I've seen of the Avadon screenshots, I think the graphics are just about as good as possible for a 2D computer game. Having the game be 3D would just raise the system requirements, making it harder to port to iPad and making it harder to run on netbook, and making it use more battery power for portable computers. After playing WoW for a few months on my laptop, my laptops graphics card wore out. My poor laptop always spun its little fan so hard playing WoW. I tried to keep it elevated to keep her cool. :'( Anyway, 3D wouldn't add anything meaningful to the game anyway. It would be nice for desktop users, but laptops are way more popular, especially among younger people who are more likely to play in-depth games like this.

He doesn't say that it is intel only. He just says it will run natively on Intel Macs. It would be strange to say it will run natively on Intel Macs, but fail to mention that it only runs on Intel Macs. I don't know what percentage of his customers use PowerPC Macs, and he probably doesn't either. He probably would not take the chance of potentially cutting out a large part of his market. >System Requirements: > >PC Running Windows XP or later or Macintosh running System 10.4 or later >800 MhZ processor.

I just had to share this cool stuff from the beta. http://i.imgur.com/ltwJM.png

I watched all three of the "Lord of the Rings" movies back-to-back. I found them kind of boring. I did enjoy the book "The Hobbit," though.

What are some good ways to raise ire of the moderators? Just for informational purposes only, of course.

"u" is an auto-explore key?

I'm kind of thinking Jeff plans on waiting until after Christmas to send out beta copies. Maybe I'll stop checking email every minute.

I don't believe the subtitle gives it away. Subtitles are rarely definitions of the main title. Examples: "Exile 2: Crystal Souls" "Geneforge 4: Rebellion" "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" "Fallout: New Vegas" "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers"

That sounds a lot faster than wall bumping.
