Old games

I just found my new favorite site! Macintosh Garden has all these old Mac games that are "abandonware" (the publishers don't support/sell them anymore). And I got to blog about it for class. How cool is that??

Of course, I didn't have Classic OS installed on Elektra...so I tried to do all this funky emulator stuff. Then I went and looked at her install disks and guess what, OS 9 was on them. So, an hour+ of frustration and one quick install later and I'm playing Crystal Quest. My mouse was set too high, so I kept dying. So then I started playing Oregon Trail. Sorry [livejournal.com profile] lordaerith, you died at the first river...I forgot that fording isn't always the best idea. Oops. :)

Going to play more now. Just a little bit.

Ah, it is Dark Castle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Castle). I guess they just don't have it at that site. Oh well, you can't have everything. Where would you put it?

It's there...well sort of. If you look
here (http://mac.the-underdogs.info/index.php?show=game&id=2405) it says that it's still under licence so they can't put it up on the site. :( I loved that game too.
