Product Description:
Solarian II is a classic Mac video game: one of the first color games available for the color Macs that came out in 1988, and the winner of countless awards and accolades. It did not run under Classic on OS X, and so it was no longer possible to play it on modern systems; but now it has been ported to OS X!

Keyboard problems: Solution - Version: 1.1, 12/30/2004 11:13AM PST

(Developer) A very helpful user, Alan Wolfe, has just tracked down the keyboard problem some people have seen in Solarian II. It is an incompatibility with iClock; iClock is eating keystrokes that should go to Solarian, and that messes up the game. Just quit iClock before starting to play. It is possible that some other "background" software might cause similar problems with Solarian; if anybody finds any other examples, please let us know at Stick Software. Thanks!

I remember this game fondly from my IIsi days. It drove me mad then and it drives me mad now. But this time, it's because the keys are unresponsive. I keep on getting killed by those bloody pentagons because my shields don't come on in time when I press the spacebar. And it's not because I'm too slow, even if I press the spacebar as soon as I see the pentagon start dropping down, the shields still don't go on. In fact, they *never* activate. There is definitely something wrong with the key response in this game. (TiBook 1Mhz, 10.3.6)

I haven't been able to make a score above 900,000 since its reissue but I'm working on it. I first played it, when my 17 year old son was just a baby, I thought beating it was just a cruel hoax. But I found the fireworks at the end. This is a great game. Shoot 'em and dodge. Plenty of decisions to make along the way. It is frustrating when you get zapped even though you KNOW you had the sheild on. Maybe you can't be in motion at the critical moment. I don't blame iClock. (Don't have it to my knowledge so I don't disable it.) I'd like to hear from other players with their strategies before we meet to play for a dollar a point.
