Hey kavar, welcome to the forums! Have a http://www.imperial-library.info/dogate/til_fishystick.jpg :)

Before you post it's always a good idea to read the sticky topics, they are stickied for a reason. There is a thread called http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=479044, that's probably what you were looking for eh? ;)

PS: Is "stickied" even a word? :unsure:

The free Arena release is a self-extracting win32 RAR archive. So you need to unpack it first to be able to play the game. Any program that can unpack RAR can unpack that specific exe file.

Also, I suggest you use http://boxerapp.com/ instead of DOSBox if you're on a Mac computer.

thank you so much!!! I have it working now :)
just a quick question. how do you make the game faster? I know you can increase the framerate on windows, so is it the same controls for mac?
