ilitch64 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I finally got a Plus keyboard from Herb over at retrotechnology.com and now I can finally use my Mac Plus which has been sitting on my shelf for about half a year now! It has been upgraded to 4MB and a book on Think C is currently on its way! I love the smaller foot print it has versus my ADB Performa Keyboard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olePigeon Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I'm confused ... it's NOT playing Dark Castle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

68kMLA Supporter Crutch Posted August 29, 2020 68kMLA Supporter Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Such a cool game. Impossible to solve though, as I recall. Also, the font used there for “BY DAVID ALAN SMITH” is Commando, one of my all-time favorite Mac fonts. I remember finding it in The Colony’s resource file, extracting it and using it countless times thereafter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ilitch64 Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 I have been trying to figure out how to extract the font for about an hour now. How'd you do that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
68kMLA Supporter Crutch Posted August 29, 2020 68kMLA Supporter Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Oh jeez I am remembering something I did in probably 1988 ... isn’t the font in the resource fork? You should be able to see it with ResEdit, you can then copy it to your system file. There should be a FONT resource called “Commando” or similar. If that doesn’t work, I can probably dig it up somewhere ... Edited August 29, 2020 by Crutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ilitch64 Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 I figured it out in resedit you copy the FOND and the FONT data from Colony and paste it into the System file’s FOND and FONT tables. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
68kMLA Supporter elbaroni Posted September 1, 2020 68kMLA Supporter Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Font/DA mover, hold “option” as you click on the “open” button. Will let you open applications, not just suitcases and system files. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
