Dart Fastest Growing Language in 2023
I've been writing a CLI in Dart. It's such a good language now for stuff like this. You can compile to a small binary (it seems comparable to a Go binary in size and speed - though Go has an edge on speed it's not very far ahead), the test framework is so simple and easy and just gets out of your way... it's really been excellent. I highly recommend Dart (having written stuff in Java, Kotlin, Go and others) for CLIs. What I built is mostly based on my Dartle package, which is a task runner you can use both to build Dart code itself and to write task-based stuff like build tools - which is why i also wrote jb using it, a Java build system I am still finalizing (on top of my Java project, JBuild). I hope to one day write even a Flutter app for it.

Ultima 6 - I use ScummVM to play it. It's a great engine that provides a layer of UI compatibility over the game.

Piracy and... McCarthyism?
The game is "Beneath A Steel Sky", an old school point and click adventure. And though the graphics are pixel style, they are still very well done, and the game and story are still great. The emulator is ScummVM. There's some other games that were released as freeware.

How to Get and Run Rolypolys 2
ScummVM, which has been working on Adobe Director support, can detect the game (thank you @mistydemeo <3), but trying to run it will softlock you on the game's title screen, unable to click anything. It's likely this will be fixed in the future, but for now I can't recommend it for this particular game.
