Weirdness. Even though it was listed as an application, it would still open in TextEdit. Then I rebooted, and all is well.

Hi all,

I wonder if any of you have had any luck getting any of the SpiderWeb games to run on the new Intel Macs? I know that classic games won't run on these machines, but I figured that games in Carbon like the Avernum and Geneforge ones should be fine as they can execute through Rosetta.

Anyways, I was really dismayed this morning when I pulled out my new and shiny Geneforge 2 CD, tried to install it (which went fine), and then double clicked on the game, only to have it open in TextEdit as a bunch of binary garbage! Same thing for Blades of Avernum. Avernum 4 was the only one that worked okay.

Any ideas if this is fixable, or if Jeff has any plans to make these games playable? I just shelled out $55 for the Geneforge trilogy, had my PowerBook die just after I finished the first game, and now I might not even be able to play the other two .
