University and sys requirements
Solved July 11 - 8:09 AM

I hope that University will be released before the end of the year, as the next expansion, Nightlife, will be out for PC in Sept. Hopefully the Mac version of Nightlife will come out before the end of Q2 2006.

As for sys requirements, the game doesn't demand a $2000 G5. It's completely playable on a 1.4ghz G4 (proc upgraded from 533mhz - not support by Asypr, yada yada) and a 9000 Radeon. The game does crash, a lot. The simple way to prevent crashing and/or freezing is to save every 20mins or so. Like clockwork, the game will crash every 30mins, even on the best G5s. Hopefully they'll patch that soon but otherwise the game is great and I'm glad it finally got ported ^.^

The game runs fine on a $1299 iMac. And it even is playable with small houses and lower graphics settings on the $499 Mac Mini. Two machines combined for less than $2k!

...we should all face the FACT that a game should run also on a mac that costs less than 2000$
