But thankfully, old Mac aficionados have some options. What follows is a list of software that will run on your emulated Macintosh. I'm a big fan of System 7.5.5 (which is free), so I've only listed software that is compatible with it. These titles have all been tested to work in Basilisk II. And, of course, the software should work on a real. The top on our list is the very popular Nox Player. Nox player has the. SheepShaver is a PowerPC Macintosh emulator (a companion to Basilisk) supporting System 7.5.2 through Mac OS 9.0.4, When running OS 9 SheepShaver works reasonably well as a partial substitute for Classic mode on modern systems with a wide range of old Mac software.

If you played around with the original Apple Mac (or Mac Plus) in the late 80's, you mayremember the Risk game:

Now I have a Mac SE and a Mac Classic, along with all my old disks, but I never boot themup these days.

I long to play Risk though, and none of the new versions have quite thesame feel as the old ones, so I occasionally get a Mac down from my loft and boot it up for afew games.

I recently decided to try out an emulator and see if I could copy the game over to a modern computer.To cut a long story short, I succeeded, and to save you the effort, I offer you the followingdownloads:

The zip file contains Mini vMac,emulating a Mac Plus, along with the Mac Plus ROM, and a minimal Mac Plus System 6.0.8 boot disk containing the Risk program. It also contains a shortcut which will start the emulator and bootfrom the disk image in one go. Just click the 'Risk' icon to get going!

Please note that to use the Mac Plus ROM legally, you must own an Apple Mac computer withthe appropriate ROM.

I would also like to point out that the Risk game was written by Antonie J. Engela.k.a. Tone Engel, and is copyrightto him. As far as I can tell from my research, there was never any way to purchase a copy, andit freely circulated amongst Mac owners. If Tone does not approve of his program being distributedin this way, please contact me and I willremove the download.

The version of Risk here has been slightly modified by me (back in the early 90's) to give moreinteresting player names than 'Player 1', etc. I seem to remember I used a resource editor todo this.

If you get bitten by the bug to play with Mac nostaglia, check outMini vMac further, and add a larger hard diskto your emulator.

If you still have your old Mac and want to transfer files over to the emulator, you need toformat a 1.44 MB floppy on the Mac, copy the files onto that, and then useGemulator Explorer to read theMac disk on a Windows PC - use the 'Create Image File From Physical Disk' option to create a '.dsk'file that Mini vMac can open.

I have now found a website that emulates a Mac Plus in a web browser, and it includes the original Risk game in the Games folder! Check it out here.

Incidentally, I only foundone other website describing thisRisk game.[Edit: that site is now gone, but there is an archived copy here.]Surely more people remember and love this game!

If you have any questions or commentsI'd love to hear them.

Want to be able to run classic Mac OS applications compiled for the Motorola 68000 series of processors on your ever-so-modern Mac OS X machine? Or maybe you'd rather run them on a Raspberry Pi, or an Android device for that matter? There's an emulation project that's trying to achieve just that: Advanced Mac Substitute (AMS).

Emulators of older computer platforms and game consoles are popular with vintage game enthusiasts. But emulators also could be attractive to others with some emotional (or economic) attachment to old binaries—like those with a sudden desire to resurrect aged Aldus PageMaker files.

Advanced Mac Substitute is an effort by long-time Mac hacker Josh Juran to make it possible to run old Mac OS software (up to Mac OS 6) without a need for an Apple ROM or system software. Other emulators out there for 68000 Mac applications such as Basilisk II require a copy of MacOS installation media—such as install CDs from Mac OS 7.5 or Mac OS 8. But AMS uses a set of software libraries that allow old Mac applications to launch right within the operating environment of the host device, without needing to have a full virtual hardware and operating system instance behind them. And it's all open source.

I got a demo of AMS from Juran at Shmoocon in Washington, DC, this past weekend. He showed me an early attempt at getting the game Load Runner to work with the emulator—it's not yet interactive. A version of the project, downloadable from Github, includes a 'Welcome' screen application (a sort of Mac OS 'hello world'), Mac Tic-Tac-Toe, and an animation of NyanCat.

Applications are launched from the command line for now and are executed by the emulation software, which interprets the system and firmware calls. A small graphical front-end displays video and accepts user input.

Unfortunately, there's still a lot of work to be done. While AMS works on Mac OS X up to version 10.12—both on Intel and PowerPC versions of the operating system—the code for the graphics front end currently won't compile on MacOS Mojave. (Juran is looking for someone with some expertise in Coco to help fix that.) And the Linux implementation of AMS does not yet support keyboard input. I was unable to get the front end to execute at all on Debian 9 on Intel.

But there's hope that these hurdles can be cleared. Juran said that he's considering a crowdfunding program to support further development of AMS and is looking for others willing to contribute to the project. With luck, I'll be laying out the neighborhood newsletter on Aldus PageMaker 4 for Mac and hunting down binaries for Balance of Power.
