While not a game, I'd recommend Kid Pix just for the sheer fun value.

A few notes that haven't been mentioned yet: 1. The Apple Keyboard II was also an option for the SE and SE/30 in 1991 with purchase. As I've talked about before here, there were a number of SEs made in early 1991. My school purchased SEs that year with the Keyboard II. However, Apple still sold...

The chart is wrong. Model by model, here are some (but not all) requirements: NOTE: I use the System version, not the "System Software" version, in my references. 512Ke: will run any system through 6.0.8. Plus: will run any system version through 7.5.5. Shipped with 3.0 in its first run...

The earliest version which can run on a Iici is 6.0.4. Use any variant of System 6 if you really want to see this machine fly.

As others have said, re-capping the components, removing and replacing the battery, and looking at other moving parts such as the floppy gear are all excellent steps to take. (The only exception is if someone already re-capped those boards, re-furbished the floppy drive, or the battery was...

What exactly is the Egret chip and which Macs have it?

It certainly looks promising, although I wasn't able to track down a Mac version of it. eBay has tons of Windows CDs though. I did find a compiler advertised as 68K compatible called Roaster. After reading an online review, I figured $20 for a copy of it wasn't a bad deal, so I went ahead and...

Don't forget the LCII variant Performa 4xx machines. The 410 was built until November 1993 and even got the 475-style case! (Of course, so did some non-US LCIIs...I think they were in Australia, can anyone from there verify?)

Ooh, a 1996! Any chance you have the week number on it? There is still a shop in my neighborhood which uses an ImageWriter II for receipts. It's connected to a Quadra of some variety. 

Sparked by the discussion in another topic about LC475s being manufactured later than thought, here's a question--who out there has the newest ImageWriter II? According to most sources, the ImageWriter II was still around as late as 1996. They got the brown shipping boxes and revised manuals...

The drive came with Adaptec Toast (back when it was Adaptec). I believe the version was 4 offhand. It seems to me that was the only way to make this drive work. I'm not sure if that version of Toast was optimized for it or not, but it was included on a purple CD with the Zip name on it. Come to...

I don't have a photo on me, but these are all definitely pre-6.0.7. In fact, these are pre-System 6 in general.  The black rectangle disappeared around early 1988. This is true of almost any Apple disk, whether it be the system, HyperCard, AppleWorks on the II, etc. The style you have...

A long shot here, but could it have possibly been Storybook Weaver from MECC?

See above. Looking for a quality Java compiler for both the 68K Mac and OS 9 on the PPC platform. It can be two separate programs, mostly just something to use to put a project together with over the summer.

I have one of these drives and can tell you that is a power adapter connector. The drive I have is purple and uses the standard USB connection. I remember buying it back in 2000 since my iBook didn't have FireWire and it was one of the only, if not the only, USB 1.1 CD-RW drive on the market...

Does anyone out there have a MacChimney? I've never seen one in person but have known about them for decades...

If you can run 7.1 and don't need particular features or compatibility offered by 7.5, always run 7.1. It's much smaller (useful if you have a smaller hard drive) and more responsive. Just be sure you have the proper enabler for it if you get a generic set of 7.1 disks--load it on your Install...

The 475, 580, and PB190 all stuck around a good while. Apple was trying to sell them in bulk to schools and make a profit; those computers cost next to nothing to produce by that time. The ImageWriter II also was still kicking around at that point in time. Regarding 5300s, it is possible they...

The Installer customizes a System file when it does this. Replace that file and you’ll be ok.

Regarding system discs/disks...I'm not sure about the 600CD, but there were a few other systems without them. Notable among them was the PowerBook 145B, a cost-saving computer. Floppies may have been cheap, but Apple was looking for any way to save cash by that point. They may have also used...
