Unfortunately, Quicken Essentials has significant feature discrepancies compared with the older product. Customers were advised to migrate to Quicken for Windows (ha!) or Quicken Essentials, their long awaited ground-up rewrite that does take advantage of current SDKs and runs natively on Intel Macs. A couple of weeks ago, Intuit sent out a notice to the effect that Quicken 2007 would not be compatible with Lion, and support for it (such as it was) would end. I have now used it for over ten years to manage my finances, track my investments, time and pay my bills, and forecast savings. It’s about the only other application I use that requires PowerPC compatibility: Quicken 2007.
However, this post is not about Civilization III. Goodbye Civilization III, you will be missed. Apple is releasing OS X Lion and retiring the PowerPC compatibility layer. Now, its long tenure is coming to an end. Another regular commuter even accosted me once saying “You’ve been playing that same game for years! Haven’t you ever thought of getting a different game?” I still occasionally play it even though I have several versions of its successor Civilization IV, because III is easier on the battery and improved copy protection in IV doesn’t fall for the disk image trick. A great casual game, suitable for mindlessly clicking away, I used to play it on the bus home from work.
#QUICKEN 07 FOR MAC CODE#
I have played it ever since, especially after I learned that its copy protection code would mistake a mounted disk image of its CD for the real thing so I could run it without a CD in the drive (no funny business here: I still have the CD and in fact recently came across it). In the early aughts, I purchased a copy of the game Civilization III for my Mac.
