I have a beige G3 running at 300 mhz, with 256 ram and gigs of hd OS 9.1. This fills the requirements. I have openGL 1.2, CarbonLib 1.6, and DrawSproket 1.7.5. Its a rev1 so its got ATI RAGE 3D II+ with 2 megs video ram.

But it runs like complete junk. Takes many seconds to notice a click, wont even notice clicks often, its unplayable. Does it really need a computer thats much better then it says or do I need something else?

Cheat in almost any mac game. Even Nova... Even UPLINK.

Right now, to get the game to run smoothly, you have to get yourself a much better graphics card. Lots of people have and are complaining about this, and hopefully it's on top of the things-to-fix list.

The game also runs a lot faster when you upgrade your gateway and buy more CPU's.
You also have to hold down the mouse for a few seconds, for each server on the map.

Uplink is very OpenGL intensive and the quality of that depends on your video ram/graphical card.

Eh?? I don't think this has any bearing on anything... Ingame tasks, like password breaking, are faster, but it doesn't affect the speed of the game.

Well, it certainly effects the speed of my game i.e. "noticing clicks".
