aglchoosepixelformat fail?

I got hold of a copy of McGee's Alice, my partner is a huge "Through the looking glass" fan. So I thought it would be fun for her to try it out. The only problem is it wont run, it tries too but then reports AGLPIXELFORMAT Fail, unable to start openGL. I have a 32mb Radeon, MAXpower G3 400mhz amd 640mb ram, so I thought my system would be more then up to running this game.

If anyone has any input, it would really be appreciated!

Look in your Extensions folder and see if you have OpenGL extensions installed.  If you don't, you'll need to get the OpenGL software for your Radeon.  Some Macintosh CD-ROM games included the OpenGL drivers.  They might be on the disc.

Maybe it only runs in 16-bit color, or only in 24-bit color?
