Lots of issues with this port. Under OS 9, the game crashes once every 20 minutes or so, requiring a hard restart. Under OS X's Classic, the game freezes, but switching to the Finder and switching back seems to fix it. Also, the cursor is "nervous". When I move the cursor, it vibrates and leaves a ghost trail one cursor long. After switching to the Finder and switching back, the problem goes away for about five minutes. Maps that have been explored disappear. Speed is also a huge issue...definitely not enough! I might as well go back to Virtual PC running the original...at least that version never crashes. One more thing SPOILER ALERT I noticed a bug that prevents the plot from advancing after you kill the guys at the top of the Iron Throne (it's been awhile since I last played, but there's a doppleganger posing as a diplomat and a LOT of powerful bad guys up there). I kill 'em and leave, but no one's there to meet me, and nothing I do seems to further the adventure. I restarted and got to that point again, but the plot advanced as normal. I ordered Tales of the Sword Coast from Graphsim, but by the time it arrived, I had already beaten the game and lost interest (much too buggy for any replay value). Graphsim also never responded to any of my e-mails requesting technical support.
