6) whoami returns the same owner as the logged-in user and as the file owner
7) I closed down Safari and logged out.
8) I logged in and started Safari.
9) I went to <http://www.virtualapple.org/computerbaseballdisk.html> and waited only a minute or so for the blue screen to load and pose my options, as stated by your FAQ page.
10) I can switch the speeds with my mouse, and, as a result, the cursor to the right of the "WHICH?" blinks faster.
11) There is no response to my pressing "1" to "play a game against the the computer"
12) I verified the same problem exists for two other games as well: Loderunner, Championship Baseball.

I have no Joystick, S61/S62 are onscreen. I'm stuck.
I played this 6 months ago on my G5 so it is the intel?

I do wonder why when I click the Apple II games (according to documentation, the only ones that will run on a Mac, with IIgs on Windows, for some reason, odd since it was on an Apple originally???) but then a IIgs notice comes on the screen....

I love this game. We used the Baseball Encyclopedia to hand input all-stars for 10 teams from 1950-1982 and played out each to have a 31 game season and playoffs. Playoffs: As, Red Sox, Pirates, Orioles; the Pirates with Ralph Kiner and Manny Mota won it for me, with their incredible OBP.

If I can assist in debugging, please let me know. I was a C/ForTran programmer at Tektronix, and then a Software QA geek at numerous places, totaling up to 18 years. I have the time to volunteer now....

best wishes,
