Let's put it this way... it completely boots in four seconds. 
Those were the good ol' days... no extensions, no fat code, just a good ol' core system folder that weighed in at a hefty 880K!
And I love hearing the old Mac Plus beep again!

Hey Hemingray,
Where did you find that emulator?
I've been wanting to pull out our old Plus, but I haven't had the time.
That emulator looks cool!

there were some good games on the mac plus (and other macs that followed)
Dark Casttle, ... (can't remember any others anymore, I have a blackout from posting on MR )
And why I could remember DC? Because I came across a completely reworked version that ran straight under X (in color and everything)
Except the controls are still difficult as hell.

Hey, sorry about that! I forgot to mention, you'll need a System to start it up.
The darn thing is, I can't find where I got my disk image from! I'm searching right now, so as soon as I find one, I'll post the link.
Thank you very much Hemingray, for your attention and your time!!!! I'll be waiting for your post!
Best regards
Tiago

Thanks a lot Hemingray!!!
I'm starting to download the StartUp Disk! Thank you Hemingray for all the directions given and for your time finding them!
By the way... I remember a game, that if I'm not in mistake, the name was"Risk"... like conquering continents. Where can I find it?
