Mac Bzone is a Macintosh version of a three dimensional tank battle. You, the valiant but lone tank commander, vs a slower but infinite enemy. The enemy will always win, in time, but how much time you can buy depends on your skill as a tank commander. Mac Bzone requires system 6.0.7 or higher and a 68020+68881 combination or higher (it requires an FPU). It will run on black and white systems and will take some advantage of color on color systems (it runs best in 1bit or 4bit modes). A more detailed description of game play and some notes on higher level play are included under the "Help" button in the "About..." dialog.
Known problems/limitations/solutions:
Currently the program requires a floating point co-processor.
Video depths deeper than 8 bits are no longer supported due to the new faster line drawing routines. Currently the program just exits. Change your screen depth to 8 bits or less and the program runs fine.
Users of After Dark: When using some versions of After Dark when your mouse pointer moves into one of the selected special corners and you fire a shot MacBzone can crash. The problem is in some versions of After Dark, updating to more recent versions of After Dark will fix the problem. The problem was detected in version 2.0s and it does not exist in 2.0u. I have not tested it in any other versions. Since I have seen the update program on several FTP sites, I would suggest getting the update package and updating if your version of After Dark is before 2.0u.
Users of Master Juggler: Currently MacBzone may not run correctly with Master Juggler. I have had a user report that the options dialog hangs when you click OK with Master Juggler running under System 7.0. I have not had a chance to test it personally.
A general note: If you do have problems with the game try disabling your INITs and try it again. Most problems have been tracked down to misbehaving INITs.
