I've had no problem with it on an LC with 10 meg, a 40M HD and
12" RGB monitor, running Syetem 7.

As soon as I saw this, I dropped out into the Finder and called
up Vette. Unfortunately, Vette reset the serial port (which I
*should* have thought of :-), but I made it back to tell you that
yes, indeed, Vette works under 7 (although I didn't play for very
long). As far as the game goes, listen to me: buy it! It's worth
it.
