I was excited that BG2:ToB was finally released for the Mac, and I rushed to order a copy. However, after installing it and trying to play, I keep getting messages "Please insert CD ...". When I insert the requested CD, the computer reads it and then kicks it out, repeating the "Please insert CD ..." message. It's not a problem with unreadable discs. Even if I insert the correct CD before starting the game -- so that it clearly appears on the desktop -- the game kicks it out and asks me to insert it. I've emailed MacPlay support about it, but no word back.

Altogether, I'm disappointed after being so excited -- and I just want to warn other Mac users that there may be a problem (and if anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know!).

i played this on my friends pc and it kicked. awesome grapics, twisting plot, and an awesome new class, wild mage. the romance is good too for those playboys out there. cant wait till it come out for mac. youll be blown away.

This entire storyline is awesome. Throne of Bhaal, the final chapter, is going to be nothing short of amazing. My room mate has a PC and owns TOB, so I've seen the story and the graphics. Graphically the same deal as Shadows of Amn, but that's no complaint. SOA was gorgeous. As for gameplay, turn your character into a demigod. Everything becomes fodder for your party! Only problem is, macplay says they aren't porting Throne of Bhaal. After searching around, I still don't see anyone who is claiming they took this bull by the horns. If no one is doing this, are we really going to see it in a weeks time? I threw in my $30 just out of hope, but I doubt it. Somone tell me otherwise if you have any information. Until then, back to hacking Irenicus to pieces over and over...

Apparently, MacPlay isn't porting Throne Of Bhaal to the Mac. Some websites have posted a date of March 1st as a ship date for the game, but they are false. This was confirmed in a web article about MacPlay at the Inside Mac Games Website on December 23rd, 2002.

So, some other company has to pick up the gauntlet if we want to play it. *Sigh* Not fun at all...

The game I've been waiting for for about a year and a half is finally out! Macplay finally got around to porting it to mac, and this time it isn't just a rumor. I've seen it in the mac store in my malll, and I'm buying it as soon as I have the chance.
