It would be nice if there were an option to be a Cylon and blow up the Colonials (I like the Cylons, ya see).

Damn. I was going to post this, too! I downloaded it but it wouldn’t play on my iBook. Kept complaining that I wasn’t using the minimum screen resolution which, ironically, I am using. I’ll definitely try it out on my desktop sometime this weekend!

Aside from some interface issues, which they say they’ll be fixing soon, the game runs fine on my G5 DC. Alas, no Joystick input for Mac so far. This makes me sad.

It seems to run fine on my desktop machine. Man, there are a lot of controls to learn!

Have you gotten a joystick to work? I have an old one, but it works with other games (via USB Overdrive).

Since I don’t have one I haven’t tried. I’m still trying to get used to the controls. It’s a lot to learn; I wish it could be simplified!
