He’s the grim-faced fella the pit boss sends in after Rudy helps you defraud the casino!

You were right about the performance difference using Mini vMac on a wired connection instead of wireless. I just tried it with an AirTalk-connected SE/30 and got speeds of 135 Kbps. Before I was seeing around 5-15 Kbps. Things just got a lot more exciting! Thanks for the tip, @cheesestraws.

My rainbow set arrived yesterday and I’ve been playing around with them ever since. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my Orbi mesh network is unfit for the task, so I set up a dedicated wifi network with an ancient Linksys WRT54G running DD-WRT. I joined a pair of AirTalks to this network and...

I don’t recommend games where the bitmaps originated elsewhere and were ported lazily to the Mac. Not good showcases. Cosmic Osmo, The Manhole, and Spelunx and the Caves of Mr. Seudo all have superb 1-bit artwork. Cyan made their own halftone patterns, which blend smoothly into one another. I...

That makes two of us! I shared my flux image of MacWars with Morris, too. Can you share your Ultima III image with me? I picked up a functioning CIB on eBay a few years ago and killed my disk trying to archive it. The instructions in the box include a warning that trying to copy the game will...
