Hello players.
This from post will descripe how to install and play Tales of Tamar.
First you need the windows installation file (base file) from
http://www.tamar.net/main.php?seite=files&language=english (English)
http://www.tamar.net/main.php?seite=files&language=deutsch (German)
Unfortunately the game "Runes of Magic" doesnt't work with CrossOverGames 10.0 and because this fact I'm using CrossOver Games 9.2 (MacOS X).
I created a Windows 2000 bottle and added the following Applications:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable
CrossOver HTML engine
and Tales of Tamar
There is also an other "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable" installation on my bottle but I don't think we need this.
Run the windows Tales of Tamar installer to install the game.
ToT runs very good with a screen resolution of 640x480. If you want to use a higher resolution you should rim the debug.exe. Unfortunately the screen fading is very very slow with resolutions greater than 640x480. It seems that the fading anim doesn't exists at the debug version and because this fact it should run faster.
Tales of Tamar is a "play by mail" game. After retreiving a mail it will be crash with CrossOver Games. This crash isn't nice but you are able to restart the client without any other problem. If you play ToT then you will receive only one mail per day. I didn't find any other problems and it doesn't crash at other parts.
If you have any problem then I suggest to ask for help at the offical Tales of Tamar forum.

No panic...most threads are in German language but you can also post English ones.
Have a nice day,
