BBC Tennis Game

emdotdee · Jun 20, 2005, 04:51 PM

i've just gone onto a little tennis game that has been made on the BBC website.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tenn...is/default.stm

underneath the game screen it says that mac osx will experience performance problems?!?! i didn't have any problems, has anyone tried it and had problems?

i hate these messages that appear under web games when osx is perfectly capable of playing them.

This game was up on the Beeb's site last year too – had quite a bit of fun with it last summer. If I remember rightly, there was a strange OS X bug in that it would crash Safari if you played it with the sound on. I might have to give it another go – just to see if the bug's fixed, you understand.

I had no problems whatsoever except the slow load times... But its because I had to download the sounds..

The game works super for me too. Except it's either really hard, or I'm really bad.

Hooray for Wimbleton

thats a pretty fun game - i can see my self wasting time on that! i'm pretty poor at it though!

and plays fine for me!

It's all working fine for me now, too – sound and all. Whether they've tweaked the game or it was just a conflict with Jaguar/Panther I don't know.

Thanks for the blast from the past, noodle.
