Sciatrope ReviewAnother dead app that won't boot - Version: 0.2, 4/18/2009 03:52PM PST

I tried to run Sciatrope on my iMac G5 (1.8 GHZ) under Mac OS X 10.4.11 and as is so often the case with careless programming, it bounced back out.

It won't boot, therefore a completely useless waste of disk space.
