Okay, so I am not completely new to Mac's, but have been using them for around 3-4 years (but only in a graphic arts environment). So, I got a little nostalgic for some games that I grew up for, and when I bought them off of e-bay, and tried to load them on my 12' Powerbook G4 (1.33ghz, 1gig ram), it loads up the classic 'window', and the game kinda starts, but all I then get is a distorted view of the window, the colour seems very off, and I can't really see the game, it is the shadows of it, and I see my OS X desktop in the background. It is really weird... so the games that I am trying to load are, 'Sam & Max, Hit the Road', 'Day of the Tentacle', and 'Full Throttle'.. Lol, I know they are horrid games, but I really want to be able to play these, and I don't know if they will even work on my Powerbook since they are super old, and they were originally designed for OS 8.X. I have played with colour and resolution settings, and still no go.. So, any help would seriously be appreciated..
Thanks,
Dearinger

Went back to the Mac in 2001 and have a G5. Never had time to buy a game. For the past generation style of games Lego Star Wars rules. You use your lightsaber, shoot guns, fly starships, race in the pod races. Everything a 4 year old and his dad can use to bond for 30-45 minues every other day. Graphics are great. Actually, you can run the original Mac versions of Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max hit the Road under Classic in Mac OS X 10.4.2 (Tiger), if you do the following: 1. Turn on dock hiding - this is so the dock won't overlap the game when you play. Start up the game - your screen will go ugly, and the game music will start. Fallout (for Mac OS 7-9) 1997. 10046; 51; 11 (Modified on 2020-04-23 19:17:26) Considered one of the first true cRPG games. That is, it's not the adaptation of ADnD. This article describes how you can play old arcade games, like Solitaire, Snake, Tetris, Fortune, Dunnet, Spook and many others (see available games below), in your Mac‘s Terminal (command line). You do not need any other apps. Here is how: Related: Mac OS X: How to send SMS text messages from the command line. I want to run Diablo (Windows/Mac game) on OS 9 but without using the CD. After installation, the user is required to insert the disc for the game to start. Making a.dmg image didn't work (as suggested by a website), as OS 9 doesn't recognise the format.

It's possible that they simply won't work in Classic. If other Classic apps work just fine, I'd say this is likely the root of your problem. How to fix? You cannot, sadly.
Jump to PostHi,
It is unfortunate that some things can get just too old to work properly. You might need an old computer to run older things after all. The people with Windows computers see the same thing.
