My first computer was a Commodore Vic 20, with 20 KiB of RAM and an external cassette storage drive.

It stopped working a couple months after we (my brother and I) got it, by which time Commodore had discontinued the model, so we received an upgrade to a Commodore 64, which was basically the same thing, but with 64 KiB of RAM. I pretty much learned BASIC (most of which I've since forgotten) by typing programs out of the manual that came with it.

We eventually got a couple external disk drives for it.

I spent many, many hours playing Test Drive. You could pick from a Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari Testarossa, a Corvette, a Porsche 911 (I think) or a Lotus Espirit. That game kicked a$$! I'd love to find a Mac version.

Ah, yes - Test Drive !!!!

If/when you find it for Mac, please post the info about where it's available.

Test Drive II: The Duel is available for Mac at
http://mac.the-underdogs.info/index....=153&show=game .

BUT..... it's for an old 68k Mac.

Are they hosting it on a 68k Mac? Download speed never went above 10KB/second!

The app runs in Classic, but unfortunately it requires "2 color" mode, and I can't set my display to black & white! :o

cwtnospam .... it was a slow download for me, too. Eventually got the .sit file, but got errors when trying to expand. Never got past that.

I'm trying to download Doom now. Same slow download speed, but I don't think it requires b&w. I'm curious to see how these old games will look on a newer system.

Got Test Drive expanded (by dragging the .sit to the Stuffit icon), finally, but then hit the same wall you did... no 2 color capability.

Doom was surprisingly slow, maybe a few frames/second, and the graphics were a bit messed up with only the upper left corner in real time. The rest would appear when the action slowed down. :( It was interesting to see though.
