Anyone remember the game "The J Project"?

[macgeek417]

This just popped into my head. IIRC, it was called "The J Project", it was an old mac game. IIRC it said it was written in Cocoa. No, not as in Mac OS X, the OLD Cocoa. You controlled a cheesey character with the arrow keys, the first area IIRC had a door and an elevator thingy in the next area. You had a gun and had to shoot the enemies before they kill you. It had REALLY cheesey craphics and according to the ReadMe it was a "Resource Hog" It's been a while since I've played it, but I probebly have it on a CD-R somewhere, but anyone know it's homepage?

I know the guy who wrote it. Circuit11 - we never learned his real name, only that he lives in Arizona, or was it Nevada? He was a veteran on the old AOL forums.

He used to use, I believe, a Power Macintosh 6500. Then he switched to Windows XP. http://web.archive.org/web/20050216205714/members.aol.com/circuit11/me.html

I used to distribute some of his old games online, but some server changes brought the site offline.

Just hooked up my backup drive and got the old site here...

Here you go: http://www.silvernetworks.net/circuitsoft/

Those are his best old games. You need Stuffit 7 to open the SITX files. All of them are Classic programs, except some of them, the ones made in GameMaker you can use a tool called GM Carbonizer to turn them into PPC Carbon games which will run on a modern Mac.

Wow, I just looked there and I've played all but one of those!

An exciting new update - the original developer of these games today bought a new MacBook and posted on the SilverCreator Forums. It was a dark several years but it looks like he's back on our side again.

Do you mean The Journeyman Project?

It was one of the early CD-ROM games, I remember it well. Now, I wonder where my copy wandered off to?

No. I knew what he meant. It's a game made in the original "Cocoa" for OS 8 before they reused the name for the current version of NextStep APIs.

Yeah, after I posted, I found the game you were talking about.
