- For some strange reason, I once put After Dark on my PowerBook 145 and
- Lunatic Fringe wasn't the best thing running.... For other games, while the
- LCD screens do shadow somewhat, the situation is ok... I play RailRoad Tycoon,
- A-Train and Might and Magic III with absolutely NO problems. The situation
- that arose during Lunatic Fringe was that at a certain speed, the stars going
- by the ship in the background were no longer visable, so it looked like my ship
- was just shooting through a black void. For slower programs, such as flight
- simulator, you shouldn't have much of a problem...
