Maybe Nicht can tell you where you might be able to buy it. If i remember correctly mine was clearance-rack item at Half-Price books. Generally speaking, Prince of Persia 2 and Prince of Persia Collection both include the PC and the Macintosh versions. That was the bonus. I remember trying it on …

EMM386 and UMBPCI are consistently stable and compatible. QEMM has a long history of "issues" with OS's due to the way it tinkers with memory. Once …

Sorry, I keep forgetting DF was PPC-only. Actually, no. It could run on a 68040, but there are still two problems. 1) First you have to get it to work in emulation. The demo crashed my Basilisk every time I tried it (maybe demo was PPC only? Hrmmm.). 2) I've found that 68040/PPC titles usually will …
