Last weekend, I beat Space Quest III. If you don’t know about text-mode adventure games, they were pretty awesome. Especially, Sierra’s. I may be dating myself a bit, but used to rock out these on my old PC-XT (and only with a black and white monitor), and later with my 286. Anyway, awhile back I bought the Space Quest Collection, but it was for windows-only. This weekend, I found this page explaining how to use unshield and dosbox to run it on my macbook. Pretty awesome, and lots of good memories. Next up, King’s Quest V from the King’s Quest Collection I just found on amazon.
