I just recently purchased the game OIDS by FTL and I noticed something rather
strange when I tried to run this program on my Mac LC.  The program will load
and execute fine up until the point I try to play the game.         

The ship functions fine all the keys do what they are supposed to but I
can't destroy ANYTHING.  I can float around and shoot hundreds of shots at
a single target and the photon pellets just pass right through the target 
that I am shooting at.  Also I can't refuel or connect with the mother ship.

I was wondering has anyone else experience this problem or is it just the 
copy of the game that I got?

Another piece of info when I ran this program on my Mac Plus everything works
the way it is supposed to, but the game doesn't look nearly as good on a 9"
black and white screen as it does on the 12" color.


Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
