Welcome to the November issue of Inside Mac Games!
Please take a minute or two to read the following important information.
• November Notes
- If you are having problems with some of the QuickTime movies, or some of the pictures inside the magazine do not appear, try the IMG November 1994 (4MB) version found in the More Goodies folder. This version has more RAM allocated to it. However, please not that running the 4 MB version will mean you'll have less ram to run demos, shareware, etc from the magazine.
- If some of the games, slide shows, shareware, demos, etc do not launch from the magazine, please try them from the finder.
- Be sure to check out the new IMG's Mac Game Publishers List in the More Goodies folder.
- There was a serious bug with the slide shows in the October CD-ROM. Please use the IMG Oct CD-ROM Slide Show fix found in the More Goodies folder.
- Why was this issue so late? Well, we were kind of waiting for the Marathon demo. We know a lot of you want to play it, but we just couldn't wait any longer. It will be on the December issue.
To avoid system crashes, you should run this CD-ROM without any extensions except your CD-ROM driver, QuickTime, Sound Manager 3.0, and other essential software.
This issue of IMG uses Apple QuickTime and Sound Manager 3.0, which is contained in the “Put in System Folder” folder. To install QuickTime and Sound Manager, open the “Put in System Folder” and drag the contents onto your System Folder on your hard drive. Restart your machine for changes to take effect.
The QuickTime movies on the CD-ROM have been optimized to playback on double-speed CD-ROM drives or better. With some older CD-ROM players, you may experience sound drop outs and slow QuickTime movie play. We strongly recommend you run the CD-ROM on a CD-ROM drive with a 300Kb/sec transfer rate or better.
• Better Looking QuickTime Movies
If you have 16 or 24-bit color, the QuickTime movies will look considerably better if you set your monitor to 16 or 24-bit color. However, if you choose to do this, we recommend having a Quadra or better Macintosh, and a CD-ROM drive with a 300Kb/sec transfer rate or better, and you allocate more memory (about 5 MB) to the IMG CD-ROM program.
• Other Important Notes
- Some of the shareware games and demos must be run from your hard drive. Please copy these games to your hard drive first.
- If you are in the magazine and a demo, slide show, or sound fails to start, it means you don't have enough memory to run the program. Please run the demo, shareware, or slide show from the Finder.
