You *need* this classic.

Brings a tear to my eye when I see classic Mac games ported to OS X. This is an above-par Cocoa port.

Now all I need is Crystal Quest...but who owns the rights to Crystal Quest now that Casady & Greene bought the farm? Could Patrick Buckland make a Mac OS X port?

Someone on this very forum once mentioned that Patrick was a good friend of his. I'd love to talk to that person.

edit: Oh look, there it is. littlegreenspud, if you're still out there, I want to talk to you.

Never heard of it.
Will give it a try anyway.
