Thanks. I have seen that site and it wasn't too much help. I did learn about
VirtualBox which I have never heard of before.

I have made a little progress. However I am still unable to play the game but I
did get Quicktime to install.  When I run the game my resolution will change to
640 X 480 but thats all, no game. I'm not sure I want to or can play a game with
that resolution.  It looks horrible. I don't remember 640 X 480 looking that bad
in the good ol' days.  Perhaps my 24" monitor has something to with it.  I'll
still try and tinker with it from time to time.
