Well, I've been playing Spaceward Ho! for a few weeks and have had relatively
few problems with it on my IIci running system 7.0fc2 and then system 7.0. 
There were a few minor interface bugs such as numbers being to large for the
area they are in. The only time I had any real problems was when I was trying
to max the games out to see what the point was that they stopped drawing new
ships. Well I ran a macro overnight and by morning I had all of my levels in 
the mid 80's(They stop some of the pictures in the mid 20's some in the mid 30's
and weapons at 43, I think...Its been awhile so I dont remember the exact #'s.)
But anyways, I tried to build a ship that had all of its stats in the 80's and
it was going to cost -2701e18 dollard to build..guess they had a problem with
overflow eh? Well, I tried to build it and it sucked up all of my money, and
bankrupted all of my planets..ack. I was playing with the largest possible area
and had colonized all profitable planets. So much for that game....
