Ditto @cballero! -likewise awesome finds! :D

@lauland I only surfed from the phone -so didn’t scan. Not sure how far back you want to go. When you tune in on a particular build version you need let us know -then I’ll start scanning. The mess.org site may have “lost” all at one point -but there’s always something left behind, and there’s another site earlier and prior to that one.

ps, still on phone -early bedtime for me cya guys

Oh I just LOVED that game!  Ran the original on Mac QUITE a bit, and there was even a decent port I ran on my C64, that reproduced a pretty good Mac like interface.

Thanks for finding that!  It does sound like something right up my alley!  Especially since he mentions SDL...
"I got stuck trying to come up with a performant SDL for 68k Macs"

If he means one that actually works, then I am absolutely his guy, as I spent a LOT of time getting just that.

On the other hand, if by "performant" he means "fast"...well...there's only so much we can do.  My m68k SDL uses identical drawing code as the PPC version, so it is just a QuickDraw CopyBits, which is "fast enough" for most cases.  On my "TODO but will never actually do it unless someone needs it" is a faster hand written BLIT.  This might be the time to write one...

I'll definitely write them on MG that I'm avail to help!

Thanks again MTT!  You rock!
