    Hello,

    Brick of Atlantis, Bricks of Camelot, etc start, hide dock and menubar, but nothing happens. The game does not lock but simply displays nothing.

    http://www.macjoy.com

    They work correctly in Snow Leopard but not in guest Snow Leopard Server in Mountain Lion Host.

    Macjoy support says "The games work on Macs since about the first Mac Mini. I think only the most basic OpenGL version is needed (ie you need a 3D capable card). Are you sure you have OpenGL/3D support in Parallels?"

    I bought Parallels and SLS so I could run Rosetta.

    Thank you

    There's no hardware acceleration for OS X guests. Apple doesn't open their API so Parallels can write the drivers.

    I would have appreciated to see this info on your product page before buying a fresh copy of SLS from Apple !

    Thank you for your fast answer anyway.
