The Mac II version doesn't come with the DA version, des[ite what it
says on the box.  A little insert says there is no DA version
provided.  Also, it won't run on a machine without 256 color/grey
capability, again despite what it says on the box.  Boy was I bummin' 
when I bought it last year before I had 256 greys. 

BTW, I doesn't seem to map the clut very well to greyscale
either. When I look at the pictures with VisionLab they look great,
but only fair while actually playing. Is this the program or my system?
