Well looks like I'll be holed up in my room for a few weeks!

This game has an improved MAC interface with pop up menus and
some animation. I have sent for the color version ($19 on top of
the $38 I paid mail order - What a rip!) and hope to be using it
soon...Hope it runs ok on a IIci.
I did have one problem... About a week into the game, suddenly (after
a crash (I'm using MacPaint to create the maps from the programs
built in mapping feature) - it wouldn't recognize my Roster file
(My characters were gone!) - ANyway, I had other rosters in the
same folder, so I removed them, and now it works ok.

I am a bit miffed tho, as I use Macromaker to automate repetitive
movements, and although almost all commands can be executed
with the keyboard (helps in making the macro) - casting spells
has no keyboard equivalent, and macromaker will not track the mouse
sufficiently when I select a spell from the pop-up menus.

Any Ideas on how to use Macromaker and the pop-up menus?
Also, any overview on strategy for this game appreciated..
