Playing Crab Attack - a classic Macintosh game I wrote 33 years ago.
Back in 1989, while in high school, my brother and I created a game for the Macintosh called "Crab Attack II". My brother did much of the pixel art work, and I wrote the code for the game. We uploaded it onto a few local BBSs and then pretty much forgot about it.
Years later, out of idle curiosity, I decide to search online for the game at various archive sites, expecting to find that it's been lost forever. Instead, I find that it's been archived at multiple classic software sites and is generally well regarded. And it can still be played on an emulator today.
Join me for a bit of nostalgia as I learn that the game my brother and I made as teenagers is a lot more complex and difficult than I remembered.

Would have loved to see blendo compete in the uk robot wars.
The murder roomba
I used to work with and for Scott. If you think his robots here were cool, you should have seen the non-robot stuff we did at work. He's a very intelligent and creative guy.
One Punch Robot
Just like Adam promised. Blendo starts up, enemy bot enters frame, enemy bot gets hit, Blendo wins.
Myth busters is such a joke
I'm convinced he was born with that mustache and the beret
Thx for uploading
Jamie has been dressing like a 50yr old for over 30yrs
you can tell he is odd yet sharp as obsibian
Honestly, screw Typhoon! Not only did they shamefully ripoff this robot but it was more clunky and less memorable. Storm deserved to win that final.
Someone signed his high school year book "Never change!" and he accepted the challenge.
The guy is an effing living legend. Imagine he writes a book about his life so far. I would buy it eyes shut... and then open them to be able to read, actually.
She's asking good questions.
Thats a huge wok.
I work on electronics, and test the limits of just how little shock or vibe will make a system glitch. The Blendo seems to capitalize on this idea.
This match proves just how ineffective Blendo was. The only reason the bot won so much and eventually had to be disabled and given the honorary 1st place is because he essentially took a gas-powered(?) engine which humanity has spent the past century crafting to absolute perfection and shoving it into a bot that is able to convert it in as little weight as possible. Meanwhile others had to do some janky arm lifting shenanigans or other stuff get a combat bot going.
Typical Hyneman, simplicity does work
Jamie was 12 years old in this clip. Amazing
Super cool, but we've learned since then was WAY overly complicated and too many possible failure points.
I think I know exactly what this guy will look like when he gets old
Blendo aka "Rexxor Titan"
The background music is "JB3 - Forklift (Luke Slater remix)
I'd say Satan's Revenge and Ziggy were the two loudest robots at the event.
"Simplicity and brutality" 😅
Those earlier years were great when the robots shredded each other and sent pieces flying. Unsafe, but brilliant. 😅
Y'all also from Reddit?
Blendo really started an arms race. Other builders had to modify their designs to survive getting creamed by that kind of kinetic energy and the show runners had to build themselves a better box.
Punjan runs in like "Allah hu akbar" Blendo immediately totals it. I wanna meet Jamie. He has a strange sadistic side that I can relate with when making things in my machine shop.
Jamie is the same the woman I thought it was a man dressed up like a woman no kidding
I think it's worth noting that this team was from Australia
His beret looks younger!
Glosses over the fact that the drive motors were in the roller wheels. I would have liked to know more about that. Good looking machine, just unlucky to fight Vlad 2 years in a row
Blendo is a terrifying beast, seeing it instakill Punjar and then just stand there, menacingly, revving up back to killing speed, man, must've been amazing to see it live
nice lmao they gotta be proud
If Jamie was born evil, we would all be under his thumb right now lol.
“An exercise of simplicity and brutality” That pretty much sums up Blendo.
Pretty sure that Mr. Hyneman is wearing a beret in his high school yearbook photo...
The fact that Jamie wanted it to spin at 30k RPM's is hilarious. Adam said at that speed the outside edge would have so much friction it would engulf in flames.
Yeah, 30k RPM with a disc of that size means the outer edge would be travelling at mach 4
Just casually breaking sound barrier.
@@delibirditethe outer ring would need a crazy high tensile strength just to stand up to the centrifugal force
and thus "firenado" was born
Adam Savage is a huge exaggerated and bullshitter
"An exercise in simplicity and brutality". That's Jamie
Isn't Jamie Hyneman EXACTLY the guy you want designing military weapons? A diabolical genius. Adam is a hero for different reasons, but Jamie always seemed like he could either be a great teacher and saver of lives, or the next unabomber. I love that he chose to oppose the "dark side".
jamie probably spun blendo up with sandpaper in hand to polish off the wok's exterior and make it shine, leaning over those blades with shins at risk of total destruction the absolute madman
Blendo: So anyways, I started spinning.
One punch bot.
Didn't even know it was over until the announcer said it lol. Blendo is like Jamie; a ruthlessly efficient robot.
Lol the shell is a wok. That's awesome.
Wow that wok fries really hard!
2 of the coolest Bots from back in the day going head to head.
KO indeed or Suicide :o
Interviewed by "Your Mom"
So its true, Jamie is as old as time.
