- As long as we're looking into classic Mac games, I have a question
- that I'm hoping some oldtimer will be able to answer. There was a
- game on the early Mac called Loderunner, from Broderbund, to which
- I was _addicted_ in 1984-85. My roommate owned an original 128k
- Mac, and I was constantly begging him for Lode time. As I recall
- the game was copy-protected on a 400k disk, so access to an old,
- uncracked copy is probably not going to do any good. If Broderbund
- is still selling a 12-year-old game, that would be wonderful, but
- somehow I doubt it.
-
- Anyway, my life as a nerd would be ultimately fulfilled if I could
- get the original Loderunner up and running on my NeXTcube under
- Executor. (I have Kong and GoldDigger, NeXT-native games derived
- from the Loderunner model with more bells and whistles, but they
- just aren't the same...!) Does anyone have any idea where I can
- get a working copy that does not depend on being located on a disk
- unreadable by modern hardware? If you own it, I'll buy it. If
- it's crackware of some sort, I promise to write a literary gem of
- a letter to Broderbund, with check enclosed, and charm them into
- giving me a one-user license to run their old masterpiece on black
- hardware. I'm sure they'll get a chuckle out of it.
-
- Any other ex-addicts out there who've found their fix?
