Quiet board is quiet

...hello?

[Nichi]

Hey. I noticed it was a bit quiet here, as well

So, anything going on?

[DustiiWolf]

im attempting to download Mac OS 9 to run in a VirtualBox machine

[Nichi]

Nice. I have an older laptop running that

[stewartsage]

I'll have my PowerMac with OS9 soon hopefully.

Dustii: I totally read your first post in Simon's voice from Yogscast.

I think most of us have been transfixed by election matters recently. Hence the low amount of forum activity. ^^;

[Nichi]

True that, Bella

@Dustii: Very nice ^^
Since I notice you're running Netscape in your OS9 box, you might be interested in trying Classilla. It's the browser I often suggest to people using OS9, since it's quite nice :3

[DustiiWolf]

i dont really plan on using it for web. even if i wanted to, i havent found a way to get sheepsaver to allow it to access my internet.

The image of OS9 i got came with Netscape... and IE5, and AppleWorks, & Quick Time & iTunes & A-Dock, and a slew of other stuff.

[Nichi]

Ah. Still quite nice, though; all the assorted software it came with :3

[DustiiWolf]

Got any software suggestions?

[Nichi]

Aside from some games, not really; you have all the basics down it looks like :3

[DustiiWolf]

what games?

[Nichi]

There are several, but some that I like are:

- Diablo (Dungeon crawler \ hack 'n' slash. This series seems to be popular among site staff)
- Marathon (First installment in a trilogy of FPSes. Created by the developer that went on to create Halo)
- Nanosaur (A 3rd-person shooter that was typically bundled with iMacs from the late '90s. Enjoyable)

[DustiiWolf]

hmmm.. good suggestions, i guess...
know of any good casual games (simulation, puzzle, etc...)?

EDIT: I was Googling games, and i learned that the Wii game Secret of Monkey Island was originally an old Mac game!

my bad. the Wii game was a sequel. still cool though.
