ok, I decided to not post this in the gaming forum because although it's about a game it's lightyears away what the kids there discuss.
Will Crowther is a internet pioneer (we all know Al Gore invented the internet but Will made some part of it work). I had the honor and pleasure to climb with him s few times. In the 70's (yes, they had not only electricity then, no they also had computers) he programmed a text based game called "Colossal Cave Adventure" that you still can play on a mac today (http://www.lobotomo.com/products/Adventure/index.html) but also on the iphone (called Advent).
So here is the question: is there one of the follow up versions available on the mac that has some Amiga/Atari/C64 type graphics to it (see pic)?
Would be cool to get it to run on Mac or PC and revive the game. Reviving it as a text only is a bit unsatisfying in todays world.
