> Disappointed about what? Remember the feeling when you had your first bicycle? Can you get it again from another bicycle like that? (Heraclitus' river, etc.

  Ah no, I see what you mean. But that was what I meant (when I read it back it sounded a bit snarly; not intended); it doesn't have to feel like that? It's just great get some of the feel for the games/software back without it having to feel like that magical. Actually it doesn't feel magical to me anymore; quite the opposite but in a very relaxing way. The frustration with the (far more magical if you put it that way) process of modern software writing isn't there. It is frustrating in that if you do one thing wrong, all crashes and you have to wait for a reboot, however that actually gets you to focus better on not getting it wrong... But I don't have that thing which should work but does not work because of some software update Apple did or some input is wrong but no-one knows why (expressed by stackoverflow answers like: try to reboot, quit xcode and start again etc in 6 answers which all do not solve your identical issue). I have the advantage that I actually like the games a lot from the 80s (that must be nostalgia indeed) and people are still actively working on software for these machines, amazing things which cannot be done if you don't know everything about these systems like [1] (on 3.58 mhz (!) computers).
