Hey Huxley! Cool to see you here on this thread. Back in 2021 when I first found Mr Dopp and contacted him, he said: I'd reached out to him again when we'd become successful in cracking the game in early April, but 4 weeks later I've not heard back. He was completely fine with having folks...

Update: @aladds When I opened your spreadsheet (I'm on a Mac) I saw you'd prefilled the data with my first name. Makes sense! For some reason, though, the code it generated didn't work. IIRC the 4th digit was wrong. I know it was wrong because the keygen program someone sent me produced almost...

@aladds I've been traveling since you did this so I haven't had a change to try it out. But I get back tomorrow and believe me when I say this will be one of the first things I do! While this was going on, I also posted a similar callout on the Newton email distribution list NewtonTalk. Someone...

Yes, version 1.1 is what everyone apparently has. The original 1.0 version is nowhere to be found. Word on the street (which street?? Doesn't matter.) is that 1.0 was only available for a very short time before the game's author published 1.1. So while we can all find a shared S/N for 1.0, the...

@splorp someone told me it was only available for a short time before the author published 1.1. But it is kind of amazing how it seems to have been intentionally scrubbed from our timeline. 🖖

Related, does anyone here have the original 1.0 version?

I have an unlocked copy of YAZI (yet another Z interpreter). This allows me to play a few Infocom games on my Newton, including: HHGTTG Bureaucracy Leather Goddesses A Mind Forever Voyaging Moonmist Wishbringer and The Lurking Horror In order to get this working (which really sucks but is...

When using black mica powder, does it come off on your hands later during use? Or sort of get absorbed into the plastic? The stickiness is annoying because it seems to attract lint that becomes hard to wipe off. But I wouldn't want to treat the case with black power and look like I'd just filled...

Howdy folks, Back in 1996-97 a fellow named Christopher Dopp created a very cool roguelike for Newtons called Newthack. He even created a sound package for it to really give the game some juice. You start with a character stats screen where you can re-roll your attributes before you start...

Thank you, Byrd. I will do that for sure.  I'm a little embarrassed I have fixed the issue, and you were 100% on the right track. I was playing off the CD. The reason being it eats up 30MB of hard drive space to install the game, and my drive is only 80MB total. I only had 35MB free.  But, I...

Hey Everyone!  I own a Quadra 700 running System 7.1 and I've connected an AppleCD 300e Plus to it. It works great - I love it. I decided to play Dungeon Master 2 on the system; it comes on CD-ROM. When I launch the game and move around there is only the music soundtrack playing. If I go to...
