We have a similar setup, only we have a Mac II with an Apple
40 meg hard-drive, and a couple SE's with 20 megs in them.
I've had no problems running Continuum with AppleShare being
present and we're connected to several fileservers all at once,
so I don't think it's AppleShare that is the problem here. And
we've also got a few extra INITs like Moire running and it 
doesn't interfere with the game at all. Nor has it managed to 
crash our hard-disk at all. 

I have noticed that the cursor (the pointer) will tend to
dissapear on a Mac II when it is placed in the lower right-hand
corner of the screen. You can still use the pointer, you just
don't know where it is. The easiest thing to do is put it all the
way up the left-hand corner (I realize this hard to do when you
can't see the cursor, but it's just a matter of moving the mouse
til you think it's where it should be) and then press the mouse
button and keep down while going across the menu-bar. The Menus
pull-down fine indicating that the cursor is there in memory but
not on the screen. Quitting from the game restores the cursor and
you're fine. It would be nice to have a command-key that allows
you to quit from the game when this happens instead of trying to
select quit from the file menu with a cursor that has dissapeared
(did everyone get that? :-) 

Other than that, I've had no problems with Continuum running
under system 5.0 (I refuse to let 6.0 on our machines until Apple
distributes the fixed version of it - 6.0.1).
