  • Thanks PCBWay.com - Today, we're talking a look at FlappyMac, a brand new and incredibly fun game for vintage Macs, designed from scratch by the one-and-only @gruz !
    This game should work on pretty much any vintage Mac, from PowerPCs down to black-and-white compact Macs. We'll even try it on a Mac Plus!

      This is great, and really brings me back to old favorites like those made by Duane Blehm and Jon Calhoun.
      I was wondering the other day why there's no demoscene for early 68k macs. I know there's not a lot of low-level hardware access, but I've always wondered what a 68k assembly guru could make happen on those old machines. Your game is very impressive, even on the Plus!

    No need to crack Flappy Mac to unlock all the heroes. Hold down the Option key while launching the app to run in Cheat Mode. Bam! All heroes unlocked with no fuss or muss. The best part is the suggestive Best Score. ;)

    Sorry to be pedantic but "flappy" style games didn't originate on the smart phone. The "helicopter game" was a flash game that came out almost 10 years before flappy bird. It's basically the same thing, except the gaps and obstacles are flipped. I'd be surprised if there also wasn't some earlier desktop/console game that was similar. Still a fun genre and a great idea as game for older macs.

    Very cool to see a new game through and through from the ground up. I had some early attempts at writing games in HyperCard and then graphical text adventures in something like WorldBuilder (it was a newer engine though) but I never got very far. I had a game that wasn't even finished get on a MacAddict CD-ROM because how I could I say no when they asked? Maybe I need to go back and finish it if I can track down my source files.

    I really should get around to putting the logic board back in my SE/30 after its recap. Unfortunately the SE/30 is packed away in its vintage carry case, on the bottom shelf behind a pile of other vintage computers, parts and storage tubs. Not easily accessible.
    But I'm happy to support game development for vintage machines, so I bought a digital copy anyway! :)
