In 2006, the game received Intel support - rather than making it a universal binary, however; the developers decided to use Cider for this new app.
As a result, the game is unplayable after 10.7 "Lion" due to incompatibilities.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/208110/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (208110) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. All input settings are entirely inaccessible from the main menu.
  3. Some audio settings, such as subtitles, are inaccessible from the main menu.
