Hi dark, I'm sure you can get your Apple situation sorted out. As for talking to the developer, good luck, I haven't wanted to try that myself. On the plus side, I can heartily recommend King of Dragon Pass Pass. There have been several updates recently which fixed all the accessibility problems mentioned in its database entry, in fact I think it might be time to update it. I can now say that it is 100% playable by us, with none of the weird quirks we used to experience. Yours, Zack. On Nov 14, 2012, at 12:55 PM, "dark" <d...@xgam.org> wrote:
