Just saw this thread. I'm looking to run BG on my iMac, but don't currently have a copy. The only copies I've been able to find online have been from Amazon, and in the $60-80 range. I'd rather not torrent it. Any thoughts on where I can find a legal copy?
It is 19.49 (tax included) at
Play.com though I am unsure if they still ship to USA. But one would assume that there should be something like that offered at the States too.
I am playing that collection in 10.6.6 with the newest VMware Fusion running XP SP 3 . Everything else works fine except the cursor flickers all the time. In BG2 that is solved by clicking the "enable 3D" in game settings config box before starting the actual game but has anyone solved in BG1? ( I like BG1 more and there are certain nostalgic things involved in playing it for me, so, alas solution is not to just play BG2. )
Parallels wins all the reviews but Fusion had (has?) these campaigns in pricing going so I tried it. So that's unfortunately my only contribution to the OP, if all else fails, the student license to VMware was about 30...
...but any help with the flickering cursor would be greatly appreciated. Maybe trying to play it with BG2's engine?
