Dr. Daves Diversions | #MARCHintosh Classic Mac Infocom Games: '80s and today @DrDavesDiversions | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 27 minutes ago.
In this #MARCHintosh video, we revisit three mid-'80s Infocom text adventure games in their original package, then show how to run them on modern machines today using a VM and the original bytecode! We also (preemptively?) claim this A-Max/Amiga/Fusion Forty - now with a real Apple 800k floppy disk drive - is the fastest Mac Plus of #MARCHintosh; feel free to prove me wrong!
