Dream Pinball 3D (Mac/PC DVD)

from: Runesoft

August 15, 2008
My girlfriend has been eagerly awaiting the return of a good pinball sim to the Mac. Especially after Big Race USA and Pro Pinball: The Web both became incompatible with more up to date Macs. Unfortunately Runesoft's attempt to port this game falls down at the loading screen if you are using OS X 10.5.5 and a Nvidia GFX card. It changes resolution then dumps you back to the Finder with a bug report message. As a birthday present for my girlfriend this was not what she wanted at all.
Contacting Runesoft garnered the stock auto reply. A few days later I got a mail blaming Apple's development of drivers for it's Nvidia cards and the vague promise of a fix in the near but unspecified future. Too little too late to save a birthday present, ... Read More:

RHEM 3: The Secret Library (Mac/PC DVD)

from: Runesoft

October 02, 2007
I will not disagree with the other reviewer, but obviously he's / she's not a game puzzle lover as I am. I love puzzle adventures (Rhem, Schizm, Myst series) and Rhem 3 was not an exception.

If you haven't played Rhem 1 & 2, you don't need to. There's nothing you will be missing, Rhem's story could be described in a couple of lines.

Rhem 3 is once again a HUGE area (outdoors this time) filled with puzzles and hints. If you 've played the first two you know exactly what I mean. There are more inventory puzzles in Rhem 3 than the previous games, but it's definetely NOT an inventory based game.

In my opinion Rhem 3 is just a little worse than the previous 2 games, but do not get fooled. It's still a very ... Read More:

Airline Tycoon Deluxe (Mac/CD)

from: Runesoft


brought this because i'm clueless, theme hospital happens to be one of my favourite pc games *ever*, since getting a mac i needed find a replacement, this wasn't it
this game puts lame out of business
everything about it was substandard, the gameplay wasn't fluid and infact playing it felt like a chore - extremely yawning
it's my fault for the spur of the moment purchase, i actually believed it'd be worthwhile
i can't even begin to explain how disappointing it is
-0/5

ANKH (Mac/CD)

from: Runesoft


i have played this for a week and its very addictive. its supposedly for 12yrs and above, im 30 something and needed to get a walkthrough towards the end of the game, maybe im just thick or too impatient to play for weeks! good humour and graphics. will keep kids entertained for weeks (if you dont let them cheat like i did!)
be sure to regularly save game as, this problem may have been my macbooks problem but certain caracters and actions either did not appear or didnt appear and so had to delete game and reinstall
