GIRL IMPRESSED BY SIMPLISTIC SCENE
A simplistic scene that *may* have been slightly impressive on a home computer in 1988. May have been. We can’t remember longer ago than 1992 any more.
“I’m doing it! I’m playing a game!”

Is that meant to be superman? If so, a) do them for copyright infringement and b)Kick them off their games development course for failing at the first hurdle – there’s never been a decent superman game and most likely never will be.
Having said that, they’ve probably just created the best game currently available for mac. Notice it still has the same palette as Myst though.

Would the blonde and the third girl you can see reflected in the screen.

2009 gameplay on Mac. With their gay one-button mice.
fan fiction plot : The GTA playing chavs feign interest because the hairy one holding the mouse is the best friend of the blonde fatty they hope to bring in the toilet later.

Hey you know Apple did not invent the 8-bits arcades,
but after years at works they bring his new approach to make controls accessible
In a forthcoming title called Superman Vs Seahorse you are in controll of you favorite hero with the help of a mouse and space bar ditching for ever the unconfortable arrows keys that have been sinonimous of PC GAMING.

Why would you play a shmup with a mouse?

Macs have two-button rodents now. And it’s shit.
I’m using a cheapo PC one from Comet. Looks gash, but at least it isn’t the horrid ‘Mighty Mouse’ or the wireless single-button that east through batteries like Robotnik captures flickies.

Good to see they’ve managed to get the Master System emulator working on the school Macs.

I’ve got an iMac I picked up from a car boot a few weeks ago. Quite nice, has a slot loading dvd drive and vga out to a second monitor, running some flavour of osx (leopard? ocelot? lynx?) quite nicely gievn its age, so could be quite a nice machine IF.ONLY.I.COULD.WORK.OUT.THE.POINT.OF.IT…
Honestly, it’s such a pain in the arse, but so good looking, I imagine it’s the pc equivalent of a trophy wife.
A Second hand trophy wife picked up at a car boot sale…
Can anyone suggest what to do with it to make it actually useable 9other than ornate table decoration or doorstop)?

Just install Firefox on it and then it’ll be like a real PC!

Yes, that’s what I thought but there’s no version of firefox compatible with this versin of osx (10.1.5 – Tiger? Tabby? Manx? Cat Stevens?) so I’m stuck with downloading stuff from mac.oldversion.com and seeing what works.
Very little it would appear and what DOES work is too out of date for most websites. Tch, whatever happened to building sites navigable in lynx on a vax/vms system?
Mail seems to work ok though, and dvd’s play nicely enough and the speakers are good, so should I wish to watch a film on a 15″ crt in stereo rather than watching matroska files on the big tv with surround then I’m sorted.
And then of course there’s the original (barely adequate) keyboard and atrocious hockey puck mouse. grrrr.

You’re quite liking a Mac. Warning. That’s all I’m saying, WARNING! Oh and also GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF MAN!
If you allow it to get a foothold you’ll be lost. If you’ve found yourself recently tempted to wear trendy sandals, pale linen shorts and a sloppy cotton shirt then BE VERY CAREFUL INDEED.
I suggest you throw the Mac off a cliff and run like heck.

Oh cripes, you have one of the proper original iMacs then?
Record a video of it being rolled down a hill and stick it on Youtube.
You could probably download a newer version of OSX. Every Mac owner is entitled to one dodgy upgrade of OSX per machine…

It’s the iMac DV, pretty much dead centre of that pic, between the ’99 ibook and the cube (which I still think is a gorgeous piece of design and engineering, just a pity it runs macos really)
I can’t destroy a ‘working’ piece of computer hardware, especally not one that nicely made, no matter how irritating the operating system, that’s just not the way I roll, sorry.
Compaq desktops however, that’s a different matter. And also kicked the shit out of a hp g85 printer/scanner/copier/fax/piece-of-shit once – got very fed up having to support the bloody things so when one was scrapped I got to take revenge, office-space style

Would. Both girls. Probably in the bum.
