The hard drive has system 7.1. I have no disksThere is a game running called Lunatic Fringe that I cannot kill. Pressing cloverleaf Q does nothing except freeze the screen and call up a little white rectangle and every time I press a key it just puts an apple in the box. How it happened.
Last night I was playing the intro to Kings Quest V, nostalgically reminsing about my highschool years when 256 colors was as good as it got. When all of a sudden (after 10 minutes) the after dark screen saver started to run and somehow it started running, or trying to run Lunatic Fringe, even though there was not enough memory avalible. Now I'm stuck in Lunatic Fringe and can't get out. What I have tried Cloverleaf Q
Ctrl Option Delete
Turning the machine on and off
Turning the machine off and holding down the spacebar on reboot
Taking out the Pram battery. The machine starts and then goes into running lunatic fringe. --- I do have a machine with 7.5.1 on it. Perhaps I can make a boot disk? What do I do to get out of that horrible game?

Re-boot with the extentions turned Off ( hold down the Shift-Key at the chime) then go into the control panels and turn off AfterDark."One slip and down the hole we fall" Check out the new forum on the block at: http://www22.brinkster.com/originalstryder/db/ |

You can also try pressing: option-reset
then in the white box type: G F
that's "g" ,then a space, "f"
and press return
This tells the MAc to GET FINDER"One slip and down the hole we fall" Check out the new forum on the block at: http://www22.brinkster.com/originalstryder/db/ |

Well, for whatever it's worth, "Lunatic Fringe" is an amazing game! Granted, it's no fun when it locks up your machine (following the advice above should solve the problem), but once you've got enough memory to run it properly, you really should check it out... A laaaarge chunk of my childhood was spent trying to get past level 25... ahh, good times, good times...
I'd give my left command-key for someone to port this game to OS X... if only I had the skills... sigh.
Have fun, and let me know if you need more RAM for that little beast, as I've got tons of 30- and 72-pin SIMMS laying around!

Option-Reset?What's the reset key? Is that the key I press to turn the 'puter on? (I'm using the keyboard that came with my powermac) --- Spaceboy. A 72 pin simm would be loverly. How much do you want for 1? I'll be at work tomorrow. (Home sick today.) 68K's liberated: 4

Sorry you're not feeling well- sometimes I think I pick up more virii them all my computers combined! <ba-dum-ching!>
Anyway, I'll poke around and see what kinda simms I've got around- some of 'em are labled, but most aren't, so maybe I'll just bring a few and let you play with 'em...
See you 'round,

I'm sorry for not being to clear on that. It would be the power-on key that I meant. I started with the Apple // line and have forever since called it that. In certain macs you can access some secret msgs using that little programmers box "One slip and down the hole we fall" Check out the new forum on the block at: http://www22.brinkster.com/originalstryder/db/ |

First, let's get some things clear:
- the power key's the one with the left pointing triangle
- the "clover" key that Kady refers to , which also sometimes has an apple icon, is the "command" key
- the "option" key will have the word "option" written on it.Whew! As for the system locking up, either:
- get more RAM (PREFERRED)
- OR place Macsbug into the system folder. That way, whenever an app crashes, or locks up, hit "command" & "power" together. It gets you into the debugger, where typing ES <ENTER> exits to the finder, RS <ENTER> restarts the system and RB <ENTER> does a graceful reboot of your system!
