Like I said, I got two different results using CxG and VMwF and knowing that the hardware does support the game, I assumed that if wine's rendering could be tweeked, everything would be all good.

I just read through the other thread mentioned in rwoodsmall's message
in this thread.  The suggestions made are not for noobs.  I am trying to
get a copy of Wine for the Mac 1.1.16 compiled on my system uploaded to
good-day.net.  I have to look at another system and see if the
information I need is there.

For those who are willing, the Release Candidate for XQuartz 2.3.3 is
available, however, this may break your installation of MacOSX in ways
that are not expected.  Please use with care.
