I was so excited when I Sim Theme Park finally came to Mac. I got it for Christmas and played it for six hours straight that day. The game is great, the graphics are great, the concept is great. The glitches are not great. I had problems playing several times as the game would freeze and force me to restart the computer. Usually it is when you try to change modes, to the map view for example. After adjusting virtual memory, memory allocation, game settings (had to lower the graphics and sound quality a lot) the game go a little more stable, but it still crashes sometimes. The other problem is that as you play the game (having saved frequently) and develop your park more and more, the game starts to slow down almost to the point of being annoying. I have 128 mb of memory, and even with nothing else running, it eventually isn't enough. So basically, great game, even if there are some running problems.

My daughter recently got this game & after hours we finally fiqured how to get it working. We have a Mac G4 with 128 meg RAM. After downloading a susposed patch. I learned that the monitor setting were my problem. Monitor needs to be set 800x600 & color at "thousands". This must be set manually as the software will not do it. Once we got started, she's really enjoyed. Played all day Saturday building one park area. Roller Coasters are great.

This game has to be one of the worst purchases I have ever made. I own a 733 MHz G4, 1GB of Ram, a 500Mhz G4, 1.3 GB of Ram, a 400 MHz G4, 640 MB of Ram, and a 400 MHz IMAC, 192 MB of Ram. We called FERAL and were told that the 733 was to new it would work on the 500 and the IMAC and that the 400 Mhz G4 was to old.Out of all these machines this game will try to run on only the IMAC after you go and the patch which is not at all effective. You Crash Frequently and IT WILL NOT ALWAYS SAVE YOUR PROGRESS ( another very annoying Glitch). After Installation my machines moved very slow and I had to remove the game from my machines so that the could run properly. The game is relatively fun and the graphics are OK, BUT buy this game only if you have the required machine, you don't mind starting from the beginning, and you have the time to fix your computer. If you do any publishing this game installs WACKY fonts in you system folder. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS GAME TO ANY MAC USER.
