Continuum is a very nice game and can be played on a MacPlus with System 6.0.3
and 6.0.5 (6.0.4 probably works too, but I haven't tried it).  It has problems
with some inits, but I haven't had a chance to figure out which ones yet.
The easiest thing to do is to used init/CDEV 3.0.  When I want to play
Continuum, I restart my machine and hold down the "0" key on the keyboard.
This causes the macine to startup with no inits loaded after init/CDEV and
Continuum works fine.  When I'm done playing Continuum, I restart again and
let all the inits I use load normally. If someone figures out which inits
cause problems for Continuum, then a set of inits minus the offending init(s)
could be defined with init/CDEV to allow use of some inits.  It's too bad
more inits (really CDEVs in this case) don't allow for an option of turning
themselves off when certain applications are being run like Boomerang does.
