There's some copy on amazon, but unfortunatelly softwares doesn't shipping to outside of USA. (I'm living in EU)

Similar games (Civ2, Warcraft,warcraft2, caesarII) running perfectly on my system.(68040/33+Voodoo3) Some video playback lagging but thats all. (maybe if i spent more time to optimalise, it won't lagging anymore, but i have no time for that.)

SO i not tested, but i think it is runnable ok on similar systems.

I think you`re dead right to try and get a definitive answer. There's no reason I can see that the main part of the Astronomy program Red Shift 2 won't work for me with Shapeshifter - but it doesn't. :-?

How about Alone in the Dark 1-3? Has anybody run those games successfully?
