ethereal,

Thanks! I found the game on www.classicgaming.com. It was actually a game of
the week sometime back, so the abandonware files were right there. It runs
great on AppleWin 1.12.3 with a Gravis Gamepad. My wife told me she thinks
I'm a little crazy, because I spent 3 hours playing it in front of the TV
which is hooked up to our brand new x-box. <grin>
