WHAT FONT? "can't wait to get out of that bag"

@Crutch I only semi-faked it.    Obviously, a Macintosh 128k or 512k or Plus does not have enough CPU power to play back full screen video, even on that tiny screen 9".  What I did was shoot a video of my Mac 512 powered off.  I then carefully sat my SE/30 in place of the Mac 512 and shot a second video of that SE/30 playing back the 1984 clip full screen.  Even on the SE/30, that was no small feat let me tell you.  I had to Cinepak encode that 1984 video at 12fps and use my 50MHz 030 accelerator to get it to play back that well.  Even so, that is actual SE/30 playback you see, white scan line and all, running in QuickTime Player 4 under System 7.  In FCPX, I cropped out everything but my SE/30's display and overlayed that onto the video of my powered-off Mac 512 to make it appear as if the video was being played back on the Mac 512.

Had I totally faked it by playing the 1984 video back on my modern Mac and then cropping atop the Mac 512 display, even with all the special effects available to me, it still would look a tad faked.  That's why I made great effort to get it to run on the only compact 9" display Mac that would play it back -- an accelerated SE/30.  And that's what I really love about the SE/30.  It's such a flexible machine!

lol what sure it was, MEGAROIDS ][ is written in a dialect of Borland C and I can run that on my SE with 6.0.8 and Multifinder. I have NEC 9-chip 80ns SIMMs and 4MB. 

(Really now, have we read all the documentation on each page dug up by Winterlast on Mac Garden, or not? As well as the history of DUsers? Its all there. Its all explained.

I was just saying THINK C was not available as a dev software back in 1983. Of course it was possible to do the equivalent with it, a few years down the road later with it.

But hey, don't let me prevent you from doing your "forum aerobatics".

btw - cool links and resources you brought on Mac Garden. Fascinating stuff.
