    Hey, I just found your channel, and I love what I'm seeing! This game was a really big deal to me, and I actually spot a little bit of my work in the video - the house archive being scrolled through around 7:45 is the one I compiled and hosted. I'm glad people are still getting some value out of this collection. After the game was open sourced, a port of it called Aerofoil was created, which can run on modern computers without an emulation layer. It works quite well, though converting old house files into a format usable by it is a bit of an ordeal, and it didn't work for all of the ones I tried. A project I want to do when I can find the time for it is to work through this entire house archive and get ALL of them successfully repacked into the Aerofoil-compatible format, and provide that as an alternate download for easier access. This game was something special, and it touched a lot of people. I had never seen that john calhoun interview before, and it was a real treat. I still have my game manual and CD in that same transparent case, though I don't remember having had a box that looked like that - I'm having trouble remembering now, but mine was either a different design with a white background, or maybe it didn't come in a box at all. So cool to see all of this. Thanks for sharing!

    at 3:35, i am not that impressed by this one, seemed like a 70s style arcade game, in 1985, a friend of mine owned a mackintosh, which was about $8000, his father was an electric engineer, he could pay $50 for a game that had story and exploration and fight, which was so impressing. now known as rpg.

    Wrote a few Mac Shareware games back in the day in Microsoft QuickBasic (compiler). It wasn't until I was at my grandparents in the big city of Atlanta that I could upload them to a BBS and get them out into the wild. Had some people mail or call me from my contact info in the About box to tell me the liked this or that game. I remember one of them I had made was a Milton Bradley Clone of Merlin in Hypercard, to learn Hypercard programming... and this woman wrote me to thank me so much, she had lost her Merlin. I still got my Merlin hanging on the wall as Applebee's wall art, along with my original Mac SE mobo that had it's ADB ports fried by lightning. I played all these games because I had pirated the entire Mac section of the software store I worked at back then, or downloaded them from the ATL BBS. I still got them all stashed away on a Powermac 9600 on the shelf here I haven't touched in... 30 years. I'd have to buy a new CMOS battery for it; I wonder if the SCSI drives will still spin up, or if the rubber in side has rotted to glue.

    The mac classic was my computer back in the days, it went with me from boarding school, back home and vice versa. We had a 'newspaper' about the going around in the school, i wrote the columns at the last page, and those were the most popular. I wrote them all on my mac classic, i learned about hypercard, typing, managing documents and play some old games! My favorite is called ShufflePuck, a quick reaction game, lot of fun to see all the characters ;)

    Great work on that Macintosh Plus, and great video! You playing Beyond Dark Castle just took me back to the late 1980s, when I played it on my Dad’s Macintosh 512K! It still looks and sounds fantastic! I played a lot of Arkanoid on it too. I don’t know if you’ve heard of a UA-cam channel called Adrian’s Digital Basement, but I know that he said that Macintosh Pluses don’t (usually) have bad capacitors, unlike other old black and white Macs. I don’t know why that is; maybe Apple switched to a different company or something.
