Hey Susan,

I really have no idea how the mac version was. If it
was anything like the PC version, probably not good! I
would stick with the Atari 800 one.. or maybe even the
Atari ST or Amiga version. I'm not sure what emulators
are made for the Mac.. Sorry, but I couldn't even
begin to help you with that!

As far as games that were kind of like AR, have you
tried Daggerfall or Morrowind?
