    MiSTER Pi - first impressions

    Well got it setup with the basics and so far, I am enjoying it. Mostly played the arcade cores. Like the quick way I can jump between games. Seems the supported games are quite a bit smaller than say Mame, but I guess that is to be expected. Some of the arcade games seem to be not fully...

    MiSTER Pi - first impressions

    I just received a MisterPi turbo pack tonight. Bought it second hand as the original purchaser recognised they wou not have time to use it. Very excited to give it a go. Want to compared it to raspberry pi emulation and even emulators on my PC workstation.

    What pinball games for Classic 68k and Power PC can you recommend?

    Both of those look interesting as well, thanks. I do have an appreciation for 2D tables, easier to navigate as you play.

    Oh wow, I did not realise these games were on the Mac as well. I have to agree, their physics was top notch for the time. I still play them on my Windows machine today. I guess there is a point of comparison to be made there as well.

    I remember that one actually. Was there not a story where Space Cadet actually started as part of this game before becoming a built in game on Windows?

    I love virtual pinball almost as much as I love the real thing. I don’t have any history with pinball on the Mac platform so I would love to hear of games that stood out for you.

    TinkerDifferent Game Server - Now testing!

    What are the chances of getting a real-time strategy running? I am thinking Warcraft III, Age of Empires or anything else really.

    Sheepshaver or Classic environment?

    Hi all, so I have OSX 10.4 on my PowerBook G4 and it will run classic apps, but I just read that Sheepshaver will run on my G4 without using emulation to allow pre OSX OS’s to run. Anyone got experience with this? Is there a preferred way to run older software?

    Apple Macintosh System Software

    Great images. I love big boxes of software. I have a tonne of Amiga software, but I might have a few Mac related ones I can upload. This is a part of our vintage hobby that is hard to get across in the electronic form. The same goes for the manuals.

    Emulation List

    Great list. I would add x86box for PC emulation. Maybe a new list for Amiga which would have WinUAE (windows only), FSUAE (Mac, Windows, Linux Arm & Linux x86) & Amiberry (Arm).

    The 17" WUXGA PowerBook G4

    That looks amazing. I bet you will get quite a few curious looks in a coffee shop with that screen in a classic Mac form factor.

    My new addiction

    Hello all. Gareth is my name and I am very new to the Classic Mac world. way back in the early eighties, my dad used to bring an Apple II home from work for my brother and I to play with during the holidays before buying us a Vic 20. Fast forward through a C64, Atari ST, an EGA 286, Amiga 500...

    Upgrading to 8.6 and USB drives

    So interesting issue, the 8.6 updater is not allowing an install due to being a U.K. machine but the updater is US or International. Is that a thing, a U.K. only updater?
