Some game comments

Post by Eli the Bearded »

Years ago I purchased Crystal Caliburn, a pinball emulator. It supposedly was Mac / Windows on one CD. I've never gotten the Windows one to work, however. The Mac version initially installed, but then wouldn't run giving me not enough memory errors. I upped the memory allocation to 10x preferred with no luck. Turns out the trick is to have audio enabled. No sound was the problem.

I also tried some Cliff Johnson games: At the Carnival, Fool's Errand, and 3 in Three. All "worked" but 3 in Three kept giving me sound errors. That's what prompted me to try enabling sound and retry Crystal Caliburn.

Glider+ 3.0: it runs, folds up a plane and then instantly it seems the plane has crashed. Some sort of game speed issue apparently. Have others gotten this to work in Basilisk II?

Just tried Glider+ 3.1 under 7.6.1 in BII -- works fine, using , and . as controls. Although Glider 4 or Glider Pro seems like a better option....

Once you've got over the first vent, you need to press , immediately to avoid crashing on the table. it's a nimble-fingered game, unless you slow down the CPU speed somehow.

Hmmm. Maybe I should look for a newer version of Glider then.

If you particularly want to play that one, you can still get a fully up-to-date problem-free version from http://www.littlewingpinball.com/ , if I'm not mistaken.
