Football on the Mac
Okay, I've got nothing but satisfaction out of my Power Macintosh 8100/100, BUT I've also got this teenager at home that is hooked on the NFL. Do you know of the best way, or any way, to run an interactive football game, such as 'Madden 98' (designed for a less desirable operating system) on the aforementioned Mac? Stan Duncan - via Internet

• Well Stan, I hate to tell you this but there's really only a few ways you can make this work:

1. You can get a PC, or a PC card for your Mac (Which is the same as getting a PC) so 

that you can run games like Madden on your Mac.

2. Or you can get a G3 Mac and run games like Madden in emulation under Soft PC, Virtual PC, or Real PC.

 

Web Gripes
I know usenet is out there, but with all these Mac game web sites (I have links to 3 without having to look too far) none of them have any sort of interest in providing any kind of answers for problems with games, gripes.

• This is a good suggestion. We are considering adding this feature to our web site. If any of our readers feel that they might have expertise in this area they can write me at Bart@imgmagazine.com. Steve Phillips - via Internet

 

Falcon 4.0
I have written before regarding the Mac version of Falcon 4.0. I understand that if it does ever get published, it would be by Macsoft. In case you do not have any info on this, perhaps you can tell me how to contact Macsoft via e-mail. Han-yi Shaw - via Internet

• Yep, Macsoft is going to be putting Falcon 4.0 out!

 

8 Issues
I saw your solicitation for opinions on IMG going to only 8 issues a year. I found with previous 10 year subscriptions (I just renewed), that I couldn't keep up with 10 issues a year. There were way more than I had time to read. 8 a year would be a welcome relief. Larry Richardson - via Internet

• Well, there are lots of opinions on this issue. Check out this month's Editor's desktop to see the results.

 

Distribution Problems?
I've noticed that I've had some trouble getting IMG the last few months, what's up? Hartley Lesser - via Internet

• There are actually several answers to that question. Admittedly, we have had some trouble with our systems. As a result, we've recently changed our distribution center from Alabama to Nashville. We hope this will expediate service for cracked disks, missing issues, and overall distribution.
