Pulled this from a Synology NAS. Over 8 years old…how much more life could be reasonably expected? Haven’t even powered it on to check overall health yet, just going by the disk & date. Non-critical files, just trying to gauge how much I trust this disk at this age.
The ported it to Intel later on and renamed it Mighty Mike but I never managed to get a copy (online or otherwise). (But I just found this https://github.com/jorio/MightyMike, horay!)
- What was the first Mac game you ever played!? Mine was Bugdom in 1999
- Rebooted port of the mac-only game power pete (1995) for mac/windows/linux
- What’s something you can bring up right now to unlock some childhood nostalgia for the rest of us?
- Mighty Mike/Power Pete (1995) source port
- Power Pete (aka Mighty Mike) is now available for modern systems including M1 macs (and even Windows!) with a few QOL improvements
- Are there any games that can run on this?
- PangeaSoftware recently OpenSourced their iconic MacOS games „Bugdom“ and „Nanosaur“ and Iliyas Jorio ported both of these games to OpenGL for modern systems (Windows/Linux/MacOSX), I already tried upscaling some of the animations, would love to see what everyone else can accomplish with it!
What are some alternatives?
When comparing BillyFrontier and MightyMike you can also consider the following projects:
Nanosaur - Nanosaur source port 🦖
endless-sky - Space exploration, trading, and combat game.
Bugdom - 🐛 Pangea Software's Bugdom for modern systems
Nanosaur2 - Pangea Software’s Nanosaur II for modern systems
Pomme - A partial, cross-platform implementation of the Macintosh Toolbox C API
Quesa - Quesa fork with SDL support and some fixes for Nanosaur
