[QUOTE="jeanonline, post: 1642237, member: 265919"] I am older and also an avid casual game player. I use “game manager” for most of my games on Snow Leopard and, if necessary, on Mavericks (10.9.5). Because I lose the ability to run some games on each update, I even have two bootable hard drives with older Mac OS’s and a computer that runs Mac OS 9. (Did I mention, “avid” player?) The spinning apple, when using game manager, is not in the OS. When game manager is launched it immediately links to its online site. If your internet connection is down, slow, or the site you are going to has problems, you will get the spinning ball. To test this on your system, disconnect your internet connection and launch game manager when playing your games. Only stay connected when playing online games. [/QUOTE]
