According to this, it will run fairly well. You will need a copy of the Windows version though.

You can download the demo for free. If you don't have any issues running that, send Jeff an email at support@spiderwebsoftware.com explaining your situation, and he will send you a registration key.Originally Posted By: BylandtTyranicus, yes. The problem with this game was the reason why I installed the latest drivers. To no avail.
Archmagus, I could give that a try. But how can I download the game from the Spiderweb site? -
A4 works fine in Wine for OS X with no settings modifications. Not that this is necessary, since there is a native Intel Mac app.

The Tsar Chasm is where the Russians used to bury their leaders.Originally Posted By: HarehunterIsn't the Sar Chasm something like a bottomless pit?

Especially since the language itself was quite different.

What is that even supposed to mean? Modern games, including the last three Spiderweb releases, support widescreen resolutions with no problem whatsoever. Bylandt, I know you said you have the latest drivers installed, but have you tried reinstalling them since you tried to run Avadon?Originally Posted By: Earth Empireswidescreen monitors aren't that good when it comes to games.

40 proof vodka is some pretty weak vodka. It's usually 80 proof (40% alcohol) or 100 proof (50% alcohol).Originally Posted By: Reality ClampVodka is pretty much 20% alcohol by volume in water. It doesn't taste like much of anything, and the less it has a taste the better it is! I find this mystifying. I could make something like it myself (for free, if I pilfered lab ethanol stocks a bit), and it would still be unpalatable as a beverage on its own. Vodka in a cocktail, sure. But drinking vodka has just never made sense to me. If I'm going to drink something, I want it to taste good. Water is included, with or without the diminutive.
—Alorael, whose typical tastes run to skribbane, good beer, and bad wine. And he'll add that infusing vodka at home can be fun and delicious, although it can also be amusingly disgusting. -
The Krazy Kwilting Korner does still exist. It's just been invisible to non-mods since the UBB upgrade in 2008.Originally Posted By: Cairo JimI just noticed there isn't a mod board anymore. I'm a bit slow aren't I?

iOS is something separate, at least so far.Originally Posted By: Darth ErnieiOS

Actually starting with Lion, Apple has removed Mac from the name altogether. It's officially just OS X now.Originally Posted By: HOUSE of SMac is an abbreviated form of Macintosh, it's true. But "Mac OS" is actually the name of the OS. Not Macintosh OS, and not MAC OS either. Mac OS.

Sorry, but this is a big pet peeve of mine.Originally Posted By: HarehunterMAC OS
Mac= An abbreviated form of Macintosh, a computer made by Apple. It is not an acronym, therefore only the first letter is capitalized.
MAC= Media Access Control, an identification system for network interfaces. -
I have, but only because you posted it on Facebook.Originally Posted By: KelandonOriginally Posted By: TyranicusI've never heard that one before.Originally Posted By: SylaeYou aren't one of those crazyfolk who think... that Obama is japanese are you?
Have you heard that he's Akhenaten? Because I hadn't until a few days ago.

Yeah, Nethergate improved on the system by coloring clickable words blue.Originally Posted By: Duck in a Top HatOriginally Posted By: Tyranicus
Once you have the talk dialog box up, You have to use the mouse to click on words you want to ask about.
BoE's dialog system always annoyed me. It's almost exactly like the one from Morrowind, but you can't see a list of available topics and if you don't know what you're supposed to ask about you just have to click over every single word. -
The version of BoA on Spiderweb's site is universal and runs in Lion. Also, I stopped using WineBottler for running Windows apps. The fact that it creates a complete copy of the app in the user Library without giving an option not to do this is absolutely ridiculous. Wineskin works much better for making standalone apps using Wine.Originally Posted By: ExcaliburBoA no longer works on OS Lion, since Lion no longer supports PPC apps. You can run it with WineBottler but that's rather inconvenient.
It actually annoys me to the point of playing it on my Windows partition. -
I wonder why they don't mention Jim Broadbent.Originally Posted By: AnnhogIt is. It says right on the video ("Rowan Atkinson, Richard E Grant, Hugh Grant (as Doctor Who)"), and I'd know that face anywhere.

Looking and talking with the keyboard can only be done when you are standing directly next to the thing or person you want to look at or talk to. You press the L or T key and then the arrow key in the direction of the object or person. Once you have the talk dialog box up, You have to use the mouse to click on words you want to ask about.

Who plays the first regeneration (not Rowan Atkinson, but the guy after him) in that video?Originally Posted By: DintiradanBest Doctor was the ninth one. Theninth one.

Redoing the Geneforge games, and Avernum 4 and 5, would not be do difficult as they use the same basic engine as the modern games.

No more than if a member edits their own post.

It's my understanding that CBoE is Classic Blades of Exile, the original code made compatible with modern architecture, and OBoE is Open Blades of Exile, the enhanced version with new features. I could be wrong about this though.
-
Where? The Google Code page appears to have only CBoE.RELEASE AND ADVERTISE PLATFORM-SPECIFIC, READY-TO-USE, COMPILED VERSIONS OF OBOE FIRST, OR YOUR REQUEST IS DOOMED TO FAILURE.THESE ARE IN FACT ALREADY AVAILABLE. They could be better advertised, however. We will need Celtic Minstrel to deal with some aspects of this.
Your analysis of Jeff's considerations seems cogent; we'll have to keep this in mind.

When someone says PC, they generally mean a computer running Windows.Originally Posted By: Trenton Uchiha, shaper servile.Ohh...so windows and PC's are the same thing?

As I said last night in the Blades chat, this shiny new editor just might shame me into finishing a scenario.
Thanks, Lion.
