Well, if youtube would stop deleting my comments, I'd tell you that Beyond Shadowgate (the official sequel) just dropped last week. I'd recommend going the DRM free route via GOG. Dave Marsh is directly responsible for this gem.
Energizer no longer makes those 4.5v batteries unfortunately. You can still get generic knockoffs of them but they are stupidly expensive. I found that a regular 1.5v AA battery does work to save the settings on mine thankfully. Along with the time it also saves various other settings, notably the mouse settings and system volume.
This is a long shot but i am looking for an old game. I graduated in 99 and I remember when I was in like 6th to 8th grade we had the old Mac computers. The number munchers and the ones with that kid with a coat and a hat and the bad guy looked like Dr wily lol. But there was one weird one I was trying to find forever. And I don't have alot to go on by it. You would search for things and it was kinda trippy. It was all in black and white and the one thing for sure is if you figured out what you had to do in that area there would be singers that say Hallelujah. Like I said it is a long shot but it was a weird awesome game when I was a kid
It’s really cool to see someone testing the version of BalderDoush with the improved graphics and sounds I did back then. As back in the days only a few people had internet access I wonder how this version found it’s way to old software archives…
To stop the OS installer dumping everything on the disk, you have to select minimum install for this computer, then use the checkboxes for anything extra you want. The options at the top are sort of defaults, and the customisation is just what you want on top. It feels like a bug :(
ive been working on emulating a mac se for 3 hours on vmac mini,vmac ii mini,sheepshaver,basilik ii and even retroarch just somebody give me the links to a working rom,2 dsk files,and a working iso file for mac se and mac plus
Holy crap! I've been thinking about this game recently. I played it as a kid, but couldn't remember the name of it. Thanks for helping me track it down.
Our classroom computers (Mac Classics) had this game, I had been trying to remember what it was called for years! This brings back 5th grade memories of making levels and challenging other classmates to try and beat them!
Yes I remember this being a very hard game. On my LC 575 there were two executables, one for B&W and another for a colour version. Those punks with the knives, for some reason the name "dope fiend" is surfacing from my memory, not sure where I saw that but as a kid I do remember thinking "what is a 'fiend'? should that be 'friend'?"
Does anyone remember a very simple game where you give commands to a literal apple with arms, legs, and a face? For example, you type “run” and the apple would run. Sleep, eat, etc
Hey, I just found your channel, and I love what I'm seeing! This game was a really big deal to me, and I actually spot a little bit of my work in the video - the house archive being scrolled through around 7:45 is the one I compiled and hosted. I'm glad people are still getting some value out of this collection. After the game was open sourced, a port of it called Aerofoil was created, which can run on modern computers without an emulation layer. It works quite well, though converting old house files into a format usable by it is a bit of an ordeal, and it didn't work for all of the ones I tried. A project I want to do when I can find the time for it is to work through this entire house archive and get ALL of them successfully repacked into the Aerofoil-compatible format, and provide that as an alternate download for easier access. This game was something special, and it touched a lot of people. I had never seen that john calhoun interview before, and it was a real treat. I still have my game manual and CD in that same transparent case, though I don't remember having had a box that looked like that - I'm having trouble remembering now, but mine was either a different design with a white background, or maybe it didn't come in a box at all. So cool to see all of this. Thanks for sharing!
at 3:35, i am not that impressed by this one, seemed like a 70s style arcade game, in 1985, a friend of mine owned a mackintosh, which was about $8000, his father was an electric engineer, he could pay $50 for a game that had story and exploration and fight, which was so impressing. now known as rpg.
Wrote a few Mac Shareware games back in the day in Microsoft QuickBasic (compiler). It wasn't until I was at my grandparents in the big city of Atlanta that I could upload them to a BBS and get them out into the wild. Had some people mail or call me from my contact info in the About box to tell me the liked this or that game. I remember one of them I had made was a Milton Bradley Clone of Merlin in Hypercard, to learn Hypercard programming... and this woman wrote me to thank me so much, she had lost her Merlin. I still got my Merlin hanging on the wall as Applebee's wall art, along with my original Mac SE mobo that had it's ADB ports fried by lightning. I played all these games because I had pirated the entire Mac section of the software store I worked at back then, or downloaded them from the ATL BBS. I still got them all stashed away on a Powermac 9600 on the shelf here I haven't touched in... 30 years. I'd have to buy a new CMOS battery for it; I wonder if the SCSI drives will still spin up, or if the rubber in side has rotted to glue.
Gruz, thank you for recovering this old vid! this is a weird request, but, can you add this vid to your Classic Mac Games Episodes playlist? I archive all of your videos by playlist, had the unlisted version added manually, and would love to have this version in the playlist I monitor!
