I know, talk about a blast from the past.
I'm trying to get my son interested in *real* RPGs -- I've played them for years, mostly the D&D variety (yup, starting with the old SSI gold boxes). I figured Planescape might be worth a try and I still have my original disks.
We have a MBP -- it currently has Parallels v2 with a Win2K virtual machine. I actually just got a copy of VMware Fusion and I've been toying with the idea of replacing Parallels with Fusion.
Has anyone tried this game on an Intel Mac and if so, any suggestions, e.g. which OS should I install (I have licensed copies of Win2K and XP SP2 available-- maybe even Win98 if I look around) and is there any advantage of Fusion over Parallels v2?
Appreciate the advice,
JT

Planescape: Torment will run fine any way you choose to. The specs are so low, it won't make a difference.

I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Good to know, just didn't want to have to re-do the whole setup.

I've played it under Parallels on a MacBook. You won't have problems at all -- just give Windows at least 512MB of RAM to do the job decently.
