Product Description:

Head Over Heels was released, um, a while ago. Around about 1987 if I recall correctly and it was immediately praised in the press as being quite the bestest thing ever. Not only was it a huge game for it's time, it also had great graphics and was very addictive - if somewhat punishing in its difficulty level. The variety in the locations was amazing and the challenges brilliantly designed. Quite rightly it was awarded with pretty much every accolade that could be bestowed upon it by the various magazines. Even today it still stands as a brilliantly designed title and has never really been bettered in the isometric adventure genre.

Unexpectedly quits for every user but me - Version: 1.0, 10/10/2003 05:36PM PST

Ernest Scribbler

This may not be a problem with this game, but with me. Using my Mac OS X account, I've installed a number of games in a subfolder in a "Games" folder on the startup disk, and everyone can execute them. For a couple of games, though, including Head Over Heels, I can execute them, but for every other user it starts and then immediately quits with the "unexpectedly quit" message.

I know enough to change the permissions on the subfolder, but doing that doesn't help. In fact, even if I mount the .DMG disk image and copy the files to the startup disk as another user that user can't run the app.

If the game only runs for me, it's not usable in my multiuser enviornment. What do I have to do to make it executable by all user accounts?

Great graphics and lots of fun - Version: 1.0, 10/7/2003 07:16PM PST

Surprised at what a well put together game this is. Very smoothe, and although its difficult for beginners and shows no mercy in the saving of games, its a steal as freeware. BTW am I the only one that cannot pick up items in the game?
Try it, you'll be into it. Eventually Ill have to find cheats for this.
