I have a G5 iMac and for some reason I cannot install Stubbs The Zombie. I meet all the system requirements, but when I try to copy the files over, I get an error that says "The alias "Stubbs The Zombie" cannot be copied to the destination, perhaps because the destination does not support this type of alias". Is there anything I can do to fix this so I can play it? Thanks

Is there an installer or are you just copying the files over manually? If the latter, just don't copy the alias that's causing the problems.

The alias that is causing problems is the app to launch the game. I tried updating it but it still won't work

Where is the actual app located? Can you copy just that over, ignoring the alias?

The app is in the folder with all the other files to run the game. I did get a little further...I updated Stubbs but when I launch it, it bounces in the dock a few times and then quits. I'm so confused!
 
Unfortunately, I no longer own this game, so I can't do much troubleshooting. I suggest you post your question over at the forums at InsideMacGames (http://www.insidemacgames.com/forum/). A lot of people over there still own Stubbs and should be able to help you troubleshoot your problem.
