Installs but won't run

the game installs just fine.

it checks for the CD but that's all, so if you make a CD image of the disk and mount it then it will bypass the CD check.

the game is looking to run in 640x480x16-bit color depth. setting the virtual desktop to 640x480 will bypass that error, but setting desktop color to Thousands (on Mac OS X) doesn't seem to help.

the game now crashes with a black screen.

that's as far as i've gotten. one would think a game this old would run perfectly under Xover in a 98 bottle, but alas, it may be too old.

if anyone else has any better luck or ideas, i'd love to hear em.

Did you start CrossOver with the display color depth already set? CrossOver doesn't currently handle display changes on the fly, you need to restart it.

thanks ken! that seems to have helped somewhat, but now it generates a new error which is:

FATAL ERROR!
Failed to create the Z buffer. Possibly out of memory.

still a no-go in 7.2.
