   ...to play on his Xbox 360. He tried playing it and it didn't work. I know it's not the cassette drive on the Xbox, because it plays other games perfectly fine.
   
   It's too bad, because this game looked more educational than Grand Theft Halo (and less violent, too!)

   I had to search the internet high and low to find the New York 18 font for my mac. While searching I found out that I was not the only one with this problem. So it seems this is a problem with the product and not your computer. They did not take into account people who have updated computers. Once I got the font loaded onto my computer the game was great! It's a great product if you have the font.

   If you own Mac OS X (Leopard), beware. I was not able to run this game on Mac OS X due to a 'missing font'. I contacted the company for support and they offered only their website forums, which had no solution. I now own a game which won't work on Mac OS X, despite what the product info. says to the contrary.

   Got product as promised, however think again if you have a newer mac, the game will not play due to New York 18 font. I was able to play the game only due to having an iMac core duo processor with a second operating system-Windows Vista. The game sometime takes a while to load. No problem with seller, product is subpar for newer generation mac, slightly cumbersome with vista.

   This game is excellent for someone wanting to learn more about history during the westward movement in the USA or anyone who enjoys history. This is very educational and challenges your decision making during your journey.
