Rival Ball Macintosh?

Big fan of this game, but been short on time for several months. Finally had a few minutes and wanted to play....oops...

I hadn't played this since I moved to Jaguar - what a surprise when this game didn't work. The screen resolution changes, then you just get a black screen with a cursor. Force quit out and that's about it.

Anyone else here know anything?

several games broke after QuickTime update to vers 6.1. It is part of how Quicktime draws a full screen. Some software developers used undocumented programming commands, then Appple changed how that command works. Apple claims there is a very simple fix for developers. Supposedly one line of code added will fix it. But your game may not be using that command, so ...
