Long time no see.. but I've had no i...Hi there! Long time no see.. but I've had no internet for a half year.<br />Hope you've been OK..While I've been away from the 'net.. looks like there's a whole lot of new pinballs that came out for OSX, and will still run on Snow Leopard (like "retro pinball", which I;'d love to give a spin at...)<br /> I'm sure it won't be long before the 10.6 versions are no longer available..like this one.. or so I thought..<br /> Well, I found out that the very first release *did* run on 10.6.6.. and I managed to find a copy..However, the game didn't have any facility for additional tables. I contacted Farsight support, who were VERY helpful, (especially considering they knew this version wasn't obtained , or even available anymore, through normal channels ;-). They "did a pow wow" and said that, since this version wasn't supported, or available anyways, as far as add-on tables, I was out of luck unless I got the "Lion" version, although this table should *play* just fine..<br /> So the upshot is that version 1.0 *does* run on Snow Leopard! ...Just none of the additional tables would work...<br /><br /> OK I'm a little out of date also.. I know that "retro" and "arcade" pinball, as well as DAvinci and Snow Pinball, are OSX (also 10.6 capable) so I'd love to give them a whirl.. but also, a lot of the other recent posts of yours, don't actually mention if they're iOS or OSX.. You might want to mention that, for thiose of us that don't use iDevices...<br /> Anyways.. best regards.. after a long while.. My email is still the same even after I've moved (naturally) drop a hello!<br /> Regards Doc Doccus Rockus Maximushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946174462883827539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352121158026308384.post-82463394394269265542012-08-13T17:26:06.000+02:002012-08-13T17:26:06.000+02:00Hi Basil!
Another stupid 10.7 only app! AAAAAARGH....Hi Basil!<br />Another stupid 10.7 only app! AAAAAARGH. Sorry, but when I first got into computers, software companies actually tried to accomodate *everybody*, within reason.. beinf FORCED onto the upgrade treadmill is, frankly, violating, especially as, uynlike in the past, every new OS apple *removes* critical functions, unlike how it used to be, when every new OIS *added* new features..<br />Shame.. I really wanted to give this one a try..Doccus Rockus Maximushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946174462883827539noreply@blogger.com
