Got a copy of Fallout running on the iBook SE.
Better, I think I got a copy of Might & Magic I up and running on the PowerBook 190. We've successfully generated characters; we'll give the gameplay the actual smoke test tomorrow. If the '040-powered 190 is too swoopy for the archaic software, we'll just have to use the Mac SE.
I have discovered that what was fun then is still fun now; if the game was only cool for its bling, it doesn't age well, but solidly fun gameplay is solidly fun gameplay. You know, it's been a long time since I played Zork. I'll bet it's still a hoot...
I've actually been running fallout, and fallout 2 on my Linux laptop for a while. ALmost all of the iwn95 and 98 games work to some degree or another.
ReplyDeleteSo this begs the question: what do you pack for a Grue hunt?
ReplyDeleteZork! Egads, I haven't heard that game title in ages.
ReplyDeletebryanp--don't you need light?
Spotlighting grue will get you a visit from the DNR. They'll revoke your grue hunting license.
ReplyDeleteSUPER SLEDGEHAMMER!
ReplyDeleteTam, if you never played through it, I urge you to get a copy of Jagged Alliance 2. Turn-based gaming at the absolute ideal.
I can hook you up, you know where to find me.
Nethack is still the #1 game I play. Extra fun because now I play online, so the bones files are from other players, not just me!
