Apollo 18 is a pretty cool game when it works on your computer and it does on mine. I guess there are some advantages to having an old computer afterall. Unfortunateltrly the game is a bit old so it might be hard to find. I actually found mine in the bargain bin at Toys R Us a few years ago. They based the games control panels and check lists on actual control panels and checklists from the apollo program its fairly realistic even down to the staticky communications. If you can find a copy its pretty cool.

Apollo 18 is a really fun game. I got it for Christmas a few years ago and it seems to run fine on my computer.

The games have to be compatible with a Macintosh, which is avery rare occasion. We really need to upgrade! But yeah, does Apollo 18 work on the Macintosh 8.1? And I don't use Ebay, but I'll check it out anyway.
