Very nice! I didn't know this ran on B&W.

I enjoy the game and the soundtrack. What is the in-game sample rate?

Yes it supports B&W play on a compact Mac, but the experience isn't as nice, and there's no music support for 68000 CPUs.

If I remember accurately the music is 7 kHz mono. The Peter Wagner music is 560 KB for a couple of minutes total, which is achieved by sequencing several smaller music snippets in repeating patterns. The whole game including application and data is well over 1 MB, which was pretty large for the time and I got some complaints about it.

If I want to feel bad about my lack of professional attainment, I just think about my other classmates from that same year who are now wildly successful, VPs at Apple, federal judges, executive directors of federal departments, US congressmen... and no I'm not exaggerating. :)
So says a person who, as I recall, nevertheless managed a very good GPA (wasn't it 5.0+ or something?), so you could have easily been an Apple VP, federal judge or congressperson if you really wanted to, I'm sure. You're certainly smart enough....
