Well, thank you, but my graphics tend to be 2 years behind the times and my site around 3 years behind the times in terms of style. Once I become a little more contempory again maybe I can try some new things.

It's nice to see fellow KR fans also with a passion for Macs. I have such a passion, that I still own my family's first Mac Plus. And it still works!! Who remembers those long hours playing Dark Castle?
I am currently awaiting the delivery of my new G5 Dual 2GHz. I am sooo exited. Hoping to start my own business as an event videographer.

I have a question. I tried to download the custom icons but was taken to a page that just opened up a lot of symbols and didn't let me download anything. I am running OS 10.2.6 on a G4 500DP. I even downloaded the lated version of Stuffit. Any suggestions?

Have you ever used a Mac?
of course ive used them

why would i say i didnt like em...if i never used one?
I find that a lot of the people that say they dislike Macs, are those that have never used a Mac,
or even switched one on. Those people (IMO) are not really entitled to say Macs are no good.

Anyway, whenever you've used Macs in the past, what did you not like about them?

Have you used any of the newer Macs capable of running the excellent Mac OS X, or is your
experience of Macs limited to the those that cannot run anything higher than Mac OS 9.x ?

For those who are having trouble downloading the icons from my website, just control-click (or right-click if you're using a PC) and select "Download Link to Disk." That should save it to the desktop as a Stuffit file. :-)

I'd love to make more KR icons but my skills with Photoshop are mediocre at best and I don't have a great number of quality images to make icons out of. Anyone who thinks they have a graphic that would make a great icon, send it to me and I'll see what I can do.

I hope that just not a tease!

I have a couple of mac related projects for Knight Rider, that kind of fell by the waste side, perhaps I'll need to reinvestigate it now see that there is more than 3 (myself included) mac users.

Not a tease at all. The engine I'm using will fully export an OS X version of the game with a click of a button. I'm using virtools if anyone has ever heard of it. A lot of cross platform games have been developed with it.

My intentions are to release the game for both PC and MAC. But I had always wondered if there would be any demand for a MAC version... and well.....now I know. :)

msKEN--any idea yet about what the system requirements will be for PC/mac users with your game? I sure would like to think I could run it decently on my iMac 350MHz with 256MB RAM and 8MB VRAM.
