I’ve been lost in this Maze for five years now, or maybe ten. Impossible to be sure in this place. My situation is pretty desperate now. I’ve been running around in circles for days now trying to avoid these creepy Fungus guys. Never should have risked that last jump door.
Yep, I’m not cut out for this. I can’t seem to make much headway at all. Fortunately there seems to be an endless supply of food and drinking water if you know where to look. And I hear things, too. Like World Builder. I know all about this one. Picked it up from a very reliable source. Might as well write it down, in case I don’t make it out alive.
These are tips I heard for making World Builder games work on “PowerPC” and “AV” Macs. Now I can’t say what those are, since I’ve been in this maze so long I’ve almost forgotten what a computer looks like. Back before I got stuck here, I had a Mac Plus and never had any problems with World Builder. But for those of you that do here are five things to try.
- Increase the game’s memory partition by a few megabytes. (Use Get Info on the game in the Finder.)
- If you have chimes turned on in the Date & Time control panel, turn them off.
- If you have a sound track selected in the Appearance control panel, turn it off.
- Don’t run any sound playing programs or extensions while playing a World Builder game.
- Make sure you are running the latest versions of AFM and AMOT. Versions before about 1.5 aren’t compatible with newer Macs.
You won’t hear sound or anything, and scrolling might not work either, but the games will still be playable. The new color version of Twisted (Twisted Deluxe) shouldn’t need any of these adjustments.
Anyway that’s what I heard. Hope it does you some good, because it’s not getting me any closer to the exit. If I find anything else out, I will be sure to record it somewhere as well.
