I'd just like to put in a short plea to the author (strangely,
can't seem to get mail through directly) to consider the
possibility of writing future versions to allow play on
non-color-or-greyscale monitors....I've seen the game, it
looks wonderful, but I have only a sad little Plus to play
it on and of course, it don't work. Can't even run it on
my wife's IIcx, which has a monochrome monitor....there's
a huge potential market out there, and I can't believe it
requires that much new code to do (my wife has volunteered
to write the changes in exchange for credit for doing so,
for what that's worth, but only if it's written in C).
 
The percentage of the mac market that has the required
hardware has got to be well under 25%, I think.
