ESTEEMED PASSIVIST COLLEAGUES:

I would like to learn how to play old, old, old Macintosh games (Dark Castle, Original Sim City, Dungeon of Doom) using a modern system and OSX. I found some of the pieces to this puzzle a couple of months ago, when the desire struck me, but I never cracked the code and now I can't even remember what programs I used to get started.

As such, I am offering a 500 DP reward for a Mission which will enlighten myself and others about how to revisit my childhood.

The DP will be delivered by crate to the first person to produce a mission which successfully explains to me how to get old Mac games running. Send a message to me when you have completed your mission, so I know who comes in first.

Thank you.

On an Intel Mac with OS X, or an earlier one? On a Mac with Classic, or without?

If you're running a mac with a PPC chip you should be able to natively run os x apps using classic mode (it still requires an installation of os 9, though). If you're using an intel-based, x-86 mac, use..
dammit. I just realized neko already the question. Use sheepsaver.
