  1. Quote: Originally written by Dintiradan: I feel your pain, M.o.R. Microsoft's decision to stop using MS-DOS in XP made me mourn the loss of all those classics (good thing I have another computer with WIN98!). -------------------- VOTE FOR DINTIRADAN! I promise to reduce the number of random encounters in Valorim, introduce an adventurer tax cut, and legalize skribbane! Oh goodness, PCs too? By the way, am I the only one who actually likes the classic Macintosh theme better than Mac OS X? Don't get me wrong, I'm not a BIG fan of the old, but it's a lot more refreshing to me than this cheesy, over-exaggerated, bubbly, seemingly-diva-influenced aqua and platinum theme. It was rather shocking and interesting at first, but I'm really starting to hate it now. At least classic Macintosh's theme wasn't too exaggerated so that even if you didn't care for it, you didn't have to be annoyed by it. Does anyone here know what I'm saying?
  2. Hello everybody, first post here. To this day the Exile trilogy has remained one of my favorite video games of all time. So many fond memories have revolved around it, one being how especially enjoyable and sometimes therapeutic Escape From the Pit was for me when I was in 6th grade. However, I have now acquired a much more advanced high-end G4 laptop in which Mac OS 9 is no longer supported, and as we ascend further, Apple has decided to leave behind OS 9 ENTIRELY... No classic, no nothing. I, personally, am actually very upset over Apple's decision to do this, as this leaves oppurtunities to enjoy wonderful classics like Exile grow thinner as the world is now slowly leaving pastimes like Classic Macintosh in the dust. Now I'm one who is often known to understand changes and sometimes evolve with the world, but this game is something that I simply can not leave behind. The Avernum series, Exile's 'upgrade', may be more polished and tweaked, but to me it still misses greatly on the charm that always seemed to be hanging over the original and fails to be as delivering and with a true bare-bones-atmosphere as Exile is in my opinion. I know that the Avernum series is considered a 'remake' of the Exile series and is currently being focused on for carbonization, but given the advances that not just Apple but all of technology is taking, can't the old classic be carbonized? I don't want to sound like an impatient thorn, but I believe this masterpiece could use an update to OSX. Any possibilities?
