Anyone know this #Machintosh game where you'd play as a bear with a shield and a sword, top view (classic zelda-esc), everything being very square, and I feel like the colors was mostly earthy... quite possibly a homebrew. I played it on a #system7

Classic Mac experts – do you know if/where the contents of the system error handler area on a Mac Plus (so using 128kB ROMs) are defined?

This area runs from 0x3FFC80 to 0x3FFCFF – between the primary frame buffer and the sound/PWM buffer – on a 4MB system. Memory locations 0x3FFC80-0x3FFCBF seem to be used to store all 16 CPU registers, but the rest seems difficult to figure out.

there's still some work left to do, but MapClassic is pretty usable. I expect a 1.0 release this month. Still need to test system 6, performance, and add color icons.

Last screenshot is the same map rendered by the modern Map renderer. The placements are a bit different because of the font sizes, but otherwise pretty much the same.

Was there ever a ‘Demo 2’ issued?

Will never forget the the in-built music visualiser on the PS1. First thing we (flat-sharing college buddies) whacked into that was #System7 ‘s “Power of 7” and were like ‘whoooooah, this is insane’ THEN mushrooms from red and white cuboids appeared when it all kicked off and we were like double ‘whoooooah!’

Before even Wipeout got a play, this machine had turned us into The Lawnmower Man and we were blown away. A totally unforgettable experience.

Coming in as a heavy ZX Spectrum user up until the early 90s (last game purchased was Ocean’s ‘Batman’ in 1989), and Street Fighter 2 arcade that was plumbed into my local chip shop, this was next level stuff.

One good thing about the never-ending list of UI regressions in the new #MacOS (eg https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/) – is it's making one of my New Year resolutions to 'this year learn driving or Linux' seem realistic.

I've always told myself it's helpful to use leading, well-funded UI/UX to learn from it (eg, am currently setting up an online shop for our new books on WooCommerce not Civi). But for the first time since starting with #System7, there's a MacOS UI I'm praying I never have to 'upgrade' to.
