Mac OS X, running the latest virtual box and XP upgrade to SP 3 or whatever. I've tried installing the unofficial patches and high-res stuff with no luck.

VirtualBox won't really work well for any games, even old ones like Arcanum. Other VM software like Parallels or VMWare doesn't fair very well either. Sometimes you might have luck using Wine or Crossover Games, but those are both pretty hit and miss too. I've not really had any luck getting stuff from GOG to install and run properly with any of the above software. I usually just play it on my PC, or as theBeaz suggests, setup a Bootcamp partition.

Then there's Interstate '82, which by all accounts was a pile of poo poo. I never tried it.

It was quite awful. One of the most memorable lines from Interstate '76 was "Never get out of the car." In I'82 what do they let you do? Get out of the car. You also couldn't outfit your cars in insanely specialized or unbalanced ways, which is one of the things that made I'76 a lot of fun. Instead of taking the things that made the first game fun and building on them, they removed some of the fun and added things that really shouldn't have been there.
