Source for 68k Mac games?

Korodny · 04 July 2002, 13:13

I'd like to have a go at Duke Nuke'em 3D finally. Does anybody know of a place where I can get hold of some old (68k) Mac titles?

Fissuras · 04 July 2002, 15:27

What about Macintosh Garden at http://mac.the-underdogs.org/ ??
It does not have DN3D but it is a good start point I guess.

Amiga1992 · 04 July 2002, 19:25

Was DN3d availablke for 68K macs? You sure?if so I should try it on the IIsi! Koro: try Prince of Persia on it. Rocks!

Fissuras: thanks for the link! I'll have some fun with it an the Macs

Get the Hotline Client and do a search for 68k

You will find all your 68k needs there

Fissuras · 04 July 2002, 22:54

Hotline client? I never tried that. It works over the internet? or does it need to dial-up some numbers?

@Akira: you are welcome!!!!!

It´s nothing more than a P2P program like Kazaa, WinMX, EDonkey and all the others, but you can find much retro stuff there, so of course it works over the internet

Sadly the homepage is dead (http://www.bigredh.com) but the comunity is still active, so try a search for the hotline client download on google and you will find the installer for it

Whats a good Emu for 68k Mac games, Retro? For PC and Mac?

Amiga1992 · 05 July 2002, 03:50

Fred: run them natively with your Powermac :P I thought the newest ones would run games as fine (or bad) as the old 601s

For PC you should get Fusion!

About Hotline... it's great for Macintosh stuff... I think it was created in Macintosh first.

Fred the Fop · 05 July 2002, 04:14

The PowerMac I was given had a corrupt file system on the HD

I have not gotten around to fixing it. I tried Bill Elliot's Nascar Challenge and Castles on my iBook . Both work to a point, but OS X emulation of 68k enviornment is faulty. I cannot save or scroll tyo fast or crash.

RetroMan · 05 July 2002, 12:34

@Fred

Try Basilik II for a good 68k emulation

andy · 05 July 2002, 12:49

For Mac emulation, I use Basilisk JIT (version 0.8.1.142 I think, with OS8.1 and a Quadra 650 1meg ROM image and have had few problems with either utilities or games.

I run this on a PII-350/256meg/16meg Banshee, by the way. Beyond some very old titles that just don't seem to work, the only (admittedly minor) problem is that of an occasional glitch in sound playback (a very brief pause).

For reference, titles that I have comfortably used include 'Chuck Yeager's Advanced...', 'Doom' and 'MS Flight Sim 2'.

btw, I second Macintosh Garden, it's a great site and should keep you busy for a while

You know, there are not that much P2P clients for my beloved miggy

But Hotline is a good idea, I guess I'll have to bugger one of my pals.

Yes. Demoversion can be found here (though you probably located the full version already

Wow, never saw an 68k Mac (except for emulated ones, of course). I'd really like to play around with one of these beasts.

Amiga1992 · 05 July 2002, 16:16

But Korodny, I'm a freak. I must own every machine I like

You could get a Quadra 604 for nothing, that's a neat little 68K Macintosh system.

Amiga1992 · 07 July 2002, 17:22

I meant 605 :P look! for 50 measle bucks you can score a nice 68k system:

Amiga1992 · 07 July 2002, 17:25

Better yet, no 68LC040 shite, get this one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=2036462924

It looks tatty, but lemme tell you, the video capturing capabilities of this one rock.

I dunno about tatty ... the 840av's have a nice looking case if you ask me... ofcourse they are a dog to work with .. but nice looking

Akira, you should see the video capturing capability of one of these babies with a Spigot AV card.. yeah ... very nice indeed, I wish I had one of those cards....

Amiga1992 · 09 July 2002, 23:29

I mean that model si tatty, the case has been damaged. I love teh case design, my Powermac 8100/80 has the exact same case.

The inbuilt capture card is pretty fucking nice.. This is a great machine for captures as you say!
