I love Cubis; I am enjoying Luxor. I can’t get Cubis for my Mac, and Luxor keeps crashing on me. Does anybody know of any games like these that are built to run natively on my Mac (1 1/2 year old iMac Intel core duo running Tiger 10.4.10)? Thanks. ---

[/QUOTE] I’m bumping this because I am curious too. I was hooked on Cubis for a while, but got bored with it since I couldn’t download any new levels to my Mac. ---

That’s it, exactly. I’ve mastered the 50 levels I can get online, and I want more, dammit! I want more, harder levels with more cubes to crunch and make go poof! poof! poof! ---

I don’t think the Dope has ever let me down like this before. (a tiny tear falls) ---

I know next to nothing about Macs. Would [3 in Three](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_in_Three) work with Tiger? ---

[QUOTE=Lute Skywatcher] I know next to nothing about Macs. Would [3 in Three](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_in_Three) work with Tiger? [/QUOTE] it will if one has OS9/Classic as a secondary OS (I tried it on my 10.3.9 iMac) But if **featherlou** and **BluMoon** are anything like me, that’s not what we’re looking for (I am also a big Cubis fan) ---

Maybe it’s not the Dope that has let me down - it’s Apple. Those bastards. :mad: ---
