Title: Hello from Colorado!
Post by: Zingerpop on February 07, 2026, 04:42:15 PM

Hi gang! So thrilled that there's a whole community for Mac OS 9 software and games. I've learned a ton already browsing through the forums.

I want to try writing a small game using the game sprocket libraries (thinking like a classic tanks game or something along those lines). I've found some documentation already on another post here, so we'll see how this goes!

Thanks!! I'll hop on there and check it out the developer stuff; I did pull the OS 9.2.2 universal image from there yesterday already for my iMac G4. I'll have to dig into the other stuff that's on there though. I'm impressed by the amount of resources out there for these old systems, super exciting!

Cheers!
