Q*bert cut-scenes not playing
Just installed Q*bert in SheepShaver under MacOS 9.0.4. Game is working although a little bit slow. Unfortunately the cut-scenes are not showing, only a black screen but the sound can be heared. Maybe there is some kind of Quicktime plugin missing? Any idea?

Maybe set your FPS to 30? Do you have a full install of 9.0.4, or just the redundantrobot version?
Re: Q*bert cut-scenes not playing
30 Hz does not help.
I installed full 9.0.4.
Somehow it seems a plugin is missing as the videos can also not be watched by just double-clicking it in the Finder. But they seem to be regular Quicktime movies...

I faintly recall the invisible .mov issue from vintage Macs and emulators.
I believe that not all QT movs were compatible with every QuickTime Player.
Best find a system with a QT release of the time your game was released.
The QT 2.1 Player (the one with the plug-ins) might be a starting point.
All other QT Player instances should be removed from your system.

Re: Q*bert cut-scenes not playing
While experimenting with other QT versions, please be aware that QT 4.1.2 is the latest version that is fully compatible with SheepShaver. (QT 4.1 is installed with MacOS 9.0.4.)
Re: Q*bert cut-scenes not playing
It seems that it does not have to do anything with QT. I installed 4.1.2 and still only see a black screen. I can hear the sound of the movie but do not see anything.
Can somebody test Q*bert and tell me why this happens?
