"Weekend Warrior" 3d game running, but slowly

Post by bl0ckeduser »

As the thread at http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5621 points out, SheepShaver can run QuickDraw 3D 1.5.4, which as of January 2013 is available is at http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/quickdraw-3d.

It would appear that by installing QuickDraw 3D 1.5.4 on older versions of Mac OS 9 it is possible to run the 3D game "Weekend Warrior"; the game runs at about 50% to 60% of the original speed, but perhaps in the future PCs will be more powerful and it will be possible to run at full speed. In the mean time the original hardware is still around.

Hopefully this note could prove useful for people who wish to play the old Pangea games but do not have the necessary old hardware. The 2D Pangea Macintosh games work fine in SheepShaver, and all the 3D ones other than Weekend Warrior have been ported to one or more of {Windows, Mac OS X, iOS}.
