I was wondering if anyone still had a playable install of Hellcats and/
or Leyte Gulf that could help out by taking some screen shots for the
Wikipedia article on the topic? Specifically, I'd like to get images
of:
1) the mission screen showing the setups
2) a small number of in-game shots from the original, bomb base and
the B-17 escort might be good ones
3) a similar small number of shots from Leyte, especially near/at one
of the airbases to show the improved detail.
BTW, is there some way to run this on my Intel Mac? I have seen
various emulators out there, but are they fast/good enough for
Hellcats and A-10?

There's an OS X version of Basilisk:
<http://basilisk.cebix.net/>
I haven't used Basilisk in ages, but way back when it was impressively fast
on a Pentium III running Windows.

Ah nice. And Harro, good to see you as well. Seems a long time.
Maury, Hellcats runs well on the G3, I just don't have full joystick
functionality (iMate and the F16 Fighterstick have decided to fall
out) so it'll take me a little bit to sort it. If you let me know
when the page is on wikipedia I can upload the images directly.
And I've discovered that WB runs like a dream on my 7 month old
iMac

Eh? Oh, it's you, Nige. Pull up a beer or a pew or something...
Nobody seemed to notice that I was gone for a year either. Gammy sods...

I have a cheapo Saitek Cyborg 3D (cheap compared to the ADB Fighterstick
Pro). It's fine. It has a neat twist rudder control too. I am all teh
sideways.

Hammered, pickled, pissed, whatever. Could you pass me that pitcher over
there? No, the full one.
