Wow, I can't believe this thread lives on! I'm so glad to hear it's adding to the enjoyment of the games.
I received a PM and read some of the posts, and as others have said, I'm not posting much anymore. That's because I quit the game when VV3 came out with some serious bugs that constantly crashed my computer (Mac).
I accepted them in VV2, reported them in detail, had them confirmed by the authors of the game, and waited patiently for VV3 to have it fixed, but, unfortunately, the bug remained.
This bug is very serious for Mac users who play full screen, but also have password protection to return from screen saver. So anytime I'd walk away, if the screensaver came on, I'd be up a creek. VV3 does not respect the basics of programming on a Mac, and as much as I enjoyed the games, I cannot mangle my operating system files for a game. I don't know why this one particular game behaves that way as I have numerous other Mac games that work fine with full screen and the screensaver password, but it appeared the authors were incapable of correcting the problem.
I am still glad to have offered something to the rest of you who are still playing and enjoying the game. Let the VV2/VV3 genetics live on!
