I must say that I am not impressed with the interface. In fact, I went back to POR and decided that the quality of the interface had DECREASED from POR to Curse. So many other games, like Might and Magic and Bards Tale at least took the time to implement many of the intuitive uses the Mac interface offers for this kind of game. Unfortunately, Curse all but completely ignores these. I am extremely disappointed, and I do not intend to purchase the next installment (if/when it comes out) of this series. I sincerely hope that SSI does not base a decision to offer the further TSR games in Mac based on the sales of Curse. The adventure itself is fun. The interface makes me wonder if there exist any Mac-types at SSI. As for the sound, it can be toggled by hitting cntl-s at any time. Should have been a lemming and bought SimEarth... -J -- James W.
