I tried to play a bit of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Adventure Game today, and am once again reminded of how bad I am at adventure game logic. No matter how much I like them, I just struggle to find a way to make my brain think in the "right" way. I'm sure there's a trick to it.. Is there? Other than the whole "click on and try everything" general and somewhat vague suggestion, are there any other tricks you can recommend I try to follow so I actually have a chance of succeeding?

Gotta say I was a weeency bit disappointed when I booted Fedora 43 into Linux kernel 7.0.4 and wasn't greeted with THIS... 😁

Никогда не слышал про #audion
Это что-то вроде #winamp для #classicMac: куча форматов, скины… Вроде как Джобс хотел его купить, но передумал в пользу #iTunes
Его делали @[email protected] , тут его история https://www.panic.com/extras/audionstory/
Надо попробовать

Ps а почему #snac не парсит имя?

Found the very first #3D Modeling program I ever used circa 1992, "3D-Edit."
It came with a bunch of shareware on a 105MB hard disk I got from my parents that year. The program itself was released in 1986.

Got the first alpha of BomberTalk working - a networked Bomberman clone for Classic Mac.

Played a game across a Mac SE (1987), a Performa 6200 (1994), and a Performa 6400 (1995). One C89 codebase, three builds, three machines on the same LAN.

No sprites yet, just coloured blocks. But the networking works - all three find each other and play in sync.

I played a networked Bomberman game across a Mac SE, a Performa 6200, and a Performa 6400. Three machines spanning 1987 to 1995, all talking to each other over TCP and UDP.

Does anyone remember ObjectSupportLib and the problems it could cause?

let's say, not entirely hypothetically, that we have a ResEdit TMPL. We want to convert it to an MPW Rez types file, so we can DeRez resources instead of mess with the GUI editor. Anyone got a tool handy for this?

March 14, 1984, Susan Kare demonstrates the Macintosh user interface on an episode of The Computer Chronicles. I love how she says “Mac,” not “the Mac.” #vintageMac #classicMac #Apple #Macintosh

Excerpts from Bill Atkinson’s last interview, with David Pogue. The bit about “loser-friendly” software made me laugh. What a brilliant and kind soul he was. #vintageMac #classicMac #Macintosh #Apple
