    Anybody know some good guides for Macromedia Director 3/4?

    I want to try my hand at some conversions of a few contemporary (mostly freeware) 2D indie games for 68000/68020/entry level 68030 Macs. Some I've been thinking of doing are: VVVVVV Forget-me-Not Thomas Was Alone Daymare Cat: http://www.pastelportal.com/daymare_town/index.php?id=dmt_cat...

    Show me how Mac OS 8/9 looks in 16 color mode

    Exactly what it says on the tin. I'm just curious about what it actually looks like. I know that OS 8/9 has graphics for Black & White mode, and I've seen pictures of that, but I know OS 8 was also compatible with Macs that could use 16 color mode. Maybe someone could give me a screenshot...

    Need drivers for Geforce 4 MX Mac edition

    I just got my Sawtooth G4 back from the shop with a new graphics card. I can't exactly tell what it's supposed to be, but it looks like a Geforce 4 MX. I don't have a digital camera, so I can't take pictures of the card, unfortunately. Anyway, I turned my computer back on, and I've lost 3D...

    iMacs that go to Black & White?

    I've been thinking about this for a little while now, and it seems to me that in my old Elementary school, there were candy iMacs that could go all the way down to Black & White. I know this, because I remember playing a Muppet-themed educational game in school which repeatedly asked to be...

    In need of power supply for newly aquired IIe...

    First, the good news. I just got a new Apple IIe for free from a friend! It's got a printer, color monitor, and two disk drives. Now, the bad. The power supply shorted out within just the first couple hours after acquiring this thing. > :( I would like to know if there are any good...

    LC in a coma...

    I have an original Macintosh LC that refuses to start up. Nothing displays, and the only thing that happens is a clicking coming from the power supply. I do not have any devices in the SCSI port that are causing this. All I did was open it up. I tried pulling out the 68030 accelerator card, and...

    Just tried Pinball Construction Set...

    The editor, NOT the player! I've been wanting to try this ever since I first discovered it on the Macintosh Garden. Sure I tried the other versions, but they felt more like a chore than fun to use, due in no small part to the slowness of the cursor (I tried Catakig's mouse as joystick mode, but...

    Classic on the side of the road...

    Yes, that's right. I just found a used Macintosh Classic on the curb right next to my house! It was even in a fancy bag. It was quite a cold day when I found it, so I'm kind of surprised the hard drive still worked when I booted it up. It had a few games, and I also installed Superpaint...

    A fictional history of Fantavision

    I always thought that this was a pretty neat vector animation program for the Apple II. What do you think would happen if it went on and was still around today instead of Flash? Here's what I think would come about: 1988: Fantavision 2.0 is released. With this version, many other 8 bit...

    The Incredible Machine won't open saved contraptions

    The version is The Even More Incredible Machine. It was a backup of the game transferred from a zip disk onto my Power Mac G4 Yikes! with a 40 GB Maxtor Hard Drive and Mac OS 9.2.1. Whenever I try to open a saved contraption, It says "This program has unexpectedly quit, because an error of type...

    Control strip in a Weird place...

    This happened last time when I last had OS 9 on this machine. Now, with what is probably my third semi-permanent installation of OS 9 on my computer, a Power Mac G4/500 Mhz with 320 MB ram and a 40 GB HD, the control strip has mysteriously moved to the middle of the left side of the screen, and...

    Return To Dark Castle - finally!

    Despite being an avid Mac user, I had never heard about this game until just a few days after it was released. It looks nice. I'm currently downloading the demo now. 8-) This game has been in development so long that I think it could be called the "Duke Nukem Forever" of mac games. :lol:

    Games you'd like to see ported to Apple II...

    It's no secret that the Apple II was Apple's best computer for gaming, but I feel that there are some games that really deserved a port to the platform that never made it on. These are mostly european games. The Apple II was never very popular in europe. People over there were mostly playing...

    Where to download Gus IIGS emulator... Help!

    As far as I know, all the download links for this emulator are either broken or dead. Emulation.net once had it, but they have a nasty habit of taking down files and leaving the download links up, so, needless to say, it isn't up there anymore. C'mon, somebody help me out here! :'( Oh, and if...

    Installing FreeDOS on Connectix Virtual PC 5

    Is there any way to do this? I have Virtual PC 5 with Windows 2000 on Mac OS 9, which is running on a Power Mac G4 Yikes! at 500 Mhz. Whenever I try to insert the FreeDOS disc on a simulated machine with a blank HD, it doesn't work. It just gives a "this disc is unreadable" error on the mac and...

    Klik & Play?

    Does anybody know where you can download the mac version of Klik & Play? I can find the windows version just about everywhere on the web, but no Mac version. The only way I know of the existence of a Mac version was through the game Bogus Guru, which said it was created with Klik & Play...

    DOSbox on Mac OS 9?

    I was looking for PC emulators on emulation.net the other day, and I found an "Altivec-enabled" version of DOSBox in a plain .sit file. The download link was dead, but this got me excited, as I thought there were no versions of DOSBox on Mac OS 9 at all, and a .sit file usually means it works on...

    Looking for a game: Otiru

    Does anybody have the latest version of this game? I have v1.0d6 and I was wondering if there were any later versions. Annoyingly, the only website that once stocked it, shareware.netscape.com, appears to be gone, and it's mac section isn't archived anywhere, so I'm basically stuck until someone...

    No Demoscene love for the Newton?

    I had the idea for this thread for almost as long as I had been booted off my account by unforeseen (and still unknown) circumstances. Ever notice that there are no demoscene productions for the Newton? It's quite a shame, seeing as the specs are top notch, especially for the MP2100, whose...
