- Hullo...
-
- There are a couple nifty Mac games that I've recently started to play at work
- on my *real* Mac IIci during...um...well, mostly during lunch, and sometimes
- when waiting for long compiles to finish and such. Honest! :-) (*Gulp*)
-
- Anyway, I've also tried to run these games under Executor v1.99m, and I was
- pleasantly surprised (Yayayay!!) to find that two of them run! Those two are
- Glypha III (a neat Joust clone) and Shatterball (a 3-D breakout game).
-
- The third, however, doesn't seem to run at all. It's a clone of an old arcade
- favorite of mine (Star Castle) called Cyclone.
-
- Any chance of you Nice Folks at ARDI taking a looksie at Cyclone and trying
- to figger out what it's doing? Maybe for v1.99o (since I'm sure v1.99n is
- pretty much locked into place except for polishing and buffing)?
-
- Oh -- if any of you readers out there have stuff you think is Really Neat and
- want some of us other users (me <grin>) to know about it, why not wander to
- the web pages at http://vorlon.mit.edu/arditop.html and add the stuff you've
- found to work? I don't have anything to do with the pages -- but I've been
- checking them, and nobody's been adding anything! :-(
-
- FWIW, I've checked out Cyclone in E/D using 640x480x8bpp, 1024x768x8bpp, and
- and few lower graphics modes, and all I see is blackness... <frown> Must be
- doing something funky with the video -- I seem to remember some kind of video
- speed checking routine when I installed it on the IIci here.
