OS X Black and White problems installing

Daisy chain said:

Hi
I wondered if anyone can help me, i purchased the old school game Black & White for mac but when i try to install it it says:

you can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete.

I have a Macbook Air, is there no way of me installing this older game?

thanks

The error is likely because you have a newer OS. To quote our support site:

"Please note, Black & White will not work on OS X Lion 10.7 or later, regardless of whether or not you install this update."

So make sure you have 10.6.8 or older before you try and install.

I have a question...I have mac OS X 10.6.8 I successfully downloaded the game. But when I try to open it I get a message saying "black and white could not initialize the display on this machine. Please switch to an 800x600 resolution and try again."

I do so and it still won't work. Any suggestions? Please I love this game and would love to play it again!
