Best Mac emulators guide: Emulate arcade games with MAME Having started life as a Pac-Man emulator in 1997, MAME has grown into a project that aims to preserve the entirety of arcade game history. There’s already a Mac version of the Epic Games Store, though support for the platform is thin on the ground outside of obvious smash hits like Fortnite—but you can play Fortnite on a Mac. If you want to play Blizzard titles like World of Warcraft, Diablo III, or StarCraft II, then you’ll need to use the Battle.net launcher.

Emacs is a nice operating system. Too bad it doesn't have a good editor.

another reason i like VI . . . no bloat

It's the standard! Ed doesn't waste your time by gobbling up memory or getting in your face with a weird, inconsistent user interface. Try it today!

Wow, all those kilobytes of bloat. How can you stand it?

ed? My God, that thing is bloated as hell! I use cat as my editor. No fancy junk like going back and correcting your mistakes! I still remember when programmers were MEN, not little sissies whining for syntax highlighting in their editors. Punch cards, tape reels, and disk drives the size of washing machines... now those were the days....

yeah, talk about a bloated editor... emacs offers pong too (for 2 players). Just enter 'M-x pong' (M-x again equals to escape-x). One player can use the arrow-keys, the other the numbers 4 and 6.
Have fun!

Actually, emacs is not that bloated. It has a great lazy-loading system and all these 'goodies' are provided as packages. If you don't use them, they're not ever read from disk.

Try 'snake' also.. ;) Or
doctor, hanoi, gomoku, blackbox, mpuz, 5x5, decipher, dunnet, lm, life, morse-region, pong, solitaire, studlify-region...

Cool, I didn't know of the other games, thanks! :-)

Well.. just look at the sourcecode.. 19.9MB.. I wonder, if there isn't a quake-engine also included.. ;)

Hi,
I am a really beginner with Mac and Terminal. After I applied this hint in terminal, I have noticed that my Tetris did turn out to be the black and white version.
I know Rob mentioned that if $TERM is set to VT100 (in Terminal Preferences), it'll show up as B&W version. And if I like the color version, I have to set $TERM to ansi.
Maybe what rob said is very obvious to many advenced Mac users out there, but I have tried to change mine into color version without luck. Can somebody be kindly walkthrough the steps for me on how to change the $TERM to ansi? I'll be very very appreciated for your help!

Look in Terminal -> Preferences; you'll see a drop-down menu where you can set $TERM. Then just open a new Terminal window after changing it.

Terminal, the seldom used gateway to Unix on the Mac, has its fair share of interesting features, chief among them being the ability to play games from within the app itself. Here’s how.
Assuming that you don’t keep the Terminal app right at your disposal in the dock, you can find it by opening up the “Applications” folder located in the Macintosh HD. Once the “Applications” folder is open, scroll towards the bottom and locate the “Utilities” folder. Open that puppy up and scroll towards the bottom once again; you should see the “Terminal” app sitting there in all its glory. Or if you’re not the clicking type, you can simply press “command-spacebar” to bring up spotlight and start typing in ‘Terminal’ to bring up the app.

Once you have Terminal up and running, type in the following command:

ls /usr/share/emacs/22.1/lisp/play

Once you do that, a list of game titles should appear. You’ll note that each entry is listed twice, each with a different suffix. You can disregard those and focus solely on the name of each game.

With that Terminal window open, press “command-n” to open up a new Terminal window. Once open, type

emacs

into the command line. This brings up the emacs editor, and now you’re almost ready to embark on an ancient gaming experience.

After typing in “emacs” to bring up the editor, press the “escape” key and the “x” key in quick succession. You should now see a prompt preceeded by “M-x”. If so, you’re ready to game.

Now, all you have to do is refer back to the original Terminal window and simply type in the name of the game you want to play, sans the suffix. For example, to play “tetris”, simply type out “tetris” and wallah! Off you are playing what seems like the first ever version of Tetris without any sound.

To play another game, press the “escape” and “x” key at any time to bring up the prompt once again. Refer back to your original Terminal window and start experimenting.
