Ld46: Attack On Dungeon Mac Os 8

Marathon takes place in outer space in the year 2794. The player assumes the role of a nameless security officer stationed on the UESC Marathon. The Marathon has arrived in the Tau Ceti solar system and is supporting the colonization effort of the planet, Tau Ceti IV. The game starts with the player making his way to the Marathon on the shuttle Mirata when an alien ship appears and attacks the system. He survives by ejecting seconds before the explosion of the Mirata, and hours later, his officer's escape pod then reaches one of the Marathon docking bays.

There are three AIs aboard the Marathon, each in command of some aspect of ship operations. All of them are under attack by the aliens, after being hit by an electromagnetic pulse from the alien ship. As the game begins, only one of the three AIs, Leela, is still fully functional.

This is the first of Bungie's addicting and popular Marathon series, a Macintosh exclusive. Marathon is a pseudo-3D first person shooter, similar to Doom. It is widely considered to be the precursor to Bungie's epic Halo series. Experience from the making of these games led to Halo: Combat Evolved. It is known for being the first game to allow dual-wielding and mouse looking, and second only to System Shock (released in September of the same year) for vertical aim, reloading, and multiple fire modes for weapons.

Welcome to another installment of Geeky Friday. Today, unfortunately, it seems we've reached a …

And so begins a few hours of wasted time. Well, at least for those of us who grew up in the 'good old days' of computer gaming, it may. If the above doesn't look familiar to you, it's probably because you're quite a bit younger than I am :). For those who aren't familiar, before we had color screens, hard drives, or anything resembling OS X, we had text-based computer games.

As you can see from the quotes above, all you need to play a text-based game are a keyboard, a screen, and an active imagination! This particular game is called dunnet, and it's included with every copy of OS X—I'll tell you how to launch it in just a bit.

In text-based games, you interact with the game through a simple language parser, using two-word commands like get shovel, dig rock, and attack bear. You can also move about by giving compass directions such as East (or just E). Based on what you tell the game to do, you'll see a new output blurb appear, describing the result of your action, your new location, etc.

Over time, as you explore and solve puzzles, more and more of the world is revealed to you, and additional objectives become apparent. It may sound quaint and outdated in today's world of ultra-3D high-res games such as Doom3 and Myst, but text-based games can be fun in their own way, given a chance.

To play dunnet, all you need is a Terminal window and an open mind—you'd be amazed at what kinds of images your mind can draw, given the basic descriptions provided by the game itself. Launch Terminal (in /Applications: Utilities) and type (or copy and paste!) this, followed by the Return key:

That's right; dunnet is sort of hiding inside of the emacs text editor. When the game starts up, you'll see the output above (excluding the get shovel bit—consider that your first clue). From this point on, you're really on your own, but here are a few basic commands to help get you started:

Ld46: Attack On Dungeon Mac Os Catalina

• help – Some background on the game, as well as basic commands and objectives.
• inventory – Tell you what you're carrying.
• save and restore – Saves and restores the game, so you can remember to go eat occasionally.
• quit – Quit the game.

There's no way this will replace modern gaming, but if you're umm, of my vintage, or just want to know what we considered leading edge back in the day, give this a shot. If you find the concept of text-based gaming intriguing, then you might findA History of ‘Adventure'interesting reading—it covers the history of Adventure, the first true ‘interactive fiction' text-based game.

And if reading about Adventure whets your apetite to try the real thing, Lobotomo Software has afree OS X version available—happy exploring!
