I recently found out about Dune Legacy over at RockPaperShotgun and was eager to try and get Dune II running on my iMac. I don't know if this is a Lion issue, but whenever I try to run the game, it changes the screen resolution for a second and then crashes me back to the desktop. Running it on Win XP works fine, so my Dune II CD seems to be fine.

Anyone else having any luck?
 
Is this an old Power PC app ? if so, it wont work on lion at all, i suspect that might be the issue.

Ive had to buy torchlight to get my diablo 2 fix since upgrading to lion.
 
yeah a lot of the games claim intel but require "rosetta". May be non-lion only unfortunately

If it used Rosetta there would be a slash through the icon and you wouldn't be able to launch it at all. It probably needs a patch for Lion compatibility--I'd email the developer.
