>Hello all you happy Vette! racers, I would like your opinion on this game:
>1)  Does it support a 1 meg Mac SE with dual 800k drives?
Vette! supports all Macs including the new macs.  I am 90% sure that it will
work with dual 800K drives.  A HD is more convenient, though.

>2)  Does it support multi-player via AppleTalk or Modem?
yes - AppleTalk and Modem play is supported.

Need to lookup data in the manual.  Easy to find the necessary information.

Comes with both color and b&w versions.

>5)  Is it sluggish when played with a 68000 machine?
Yes - i tried playing it on a plus in outline mode (no shading) and it was
very sluggish.  

>6)  Does it support joystick?
Yes - but I have no joystick to try it with.  It comes with drivers for the
Gravis Mousestick.

>7)  Where did you buy it and how much did you paid for it?
MacConnection for $32 + $3 shipping.

Excellent game.  Highly recommended. Don't know if playing it on a 68000
machine would be worth it.  I have a ci so image processing speed is
not a problem.  Haven't had a chance to play it on a IIcx or IIx yet.
