Play Flappy Mac. PLAY IT. (Feat.

[@itsgruz]

Watched this with a big smile on my face! Thanks again for having me on your awesome channel!

[@ThoughTMusic]

Well done on your release of an excellent game. A simple yet fun concept with huge attention to detail is the sign of a great developer! Bravo sir. I’m going to head over to your channel and sub.

[@RamLaska]

This is great, and really brings me back to old favorites like those made by Duane Blehm and Jon Calhoun. I was wondering the other day why there's no demoscene for early 68k macs. I know there's not a lot of low-level hardware access, but I've always wondered what a 68k assembly guru could make happen on those old machines. Your game is very impressive, even on the Plus!

[@lucyinchat]

Woo gruz

[@MacintoshLibrarian]

This is a great game! Thank you @gruz for making a modern game for our old Macs :)

[@jorisw_]

Awesome job, Gruz. Just out of curiosity, how old are you? I'm 39 and I grew up on the family's Mac SE too. You just look a lot younger than me.

[@whatevercm]

No need to crack Flappy Mac to unlock all the heroes. Hold down the Option key while launching the app to run in Cheat Mode. Bam! All heroes unlocked with no fuss or muss. The best part is the suggestive Best Score. ;)

[@shaungreer3350]

I only have one complaint… how can’t we play as a flying toaster??

[@whatevercm]

...Or maybe a G4 Cube? Whoops... No... my mistake, that would be FLOPpy Mac. 😉

[@nickwallette6201]

@@whatevercm Yeah, that would be fun if all the heroes were Mac hardware. (I'll allow level 10 to be a flying toaster. haha) Would be interesting to play as an LC I/II/III, with proper hit box to trade height for width.

[@wur10]

Funny, I just tried this on my Mac SE before your video went online. It seems to be running faster on a 68000 machine if you're running system 6 instead of 7.

[@geekwithsocialskills]

Flappy Mac is such a fun game. Thank you for the detailed video on it. Also cool that you got Gruz to jump into the video and do a deep dive on all things Flappy Mac and Macintosh game development in general.

[@jorisw_]

"What in the sweet Spindler" - LOL

[@helfire23]

Hey! I didn't see the link to that awesome crack in the video description! Thanks for the shout out and showing how to use the crack.

[@ActionRetro]

Oh whoops! 😅 Added!

[@skunch]

1:53 "Just flap your bird through small openings" Demonetized!

[@jorisw_]

LOL

[@eveypea]

"I would have never seen this, if it wasn't for that crack" I laughed so hard when I heard that line

[@Cameront9]

I’ve been playing it on an SE with 4mb ram and system 7.1, and I think it’s been playing really well. I don’t notice much slowdown

[@alextirrellRI]

Very cool to see a new game through and through from the ground up. I had some early attempts at writing games in HyperCard and then graphical text adventures in something like WorldBuilder (it was a newer engine though) but I never got very far. I had a game that wasn't even finished get on a MacAddict CD-ROM because how I could I say no when they asked? Maybe I need to go back and finish it if I can track down my source files.

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

Oooh. I really like this! Please make more videos on games for old macs!

[@derbastilian]

@Gruz: You are way too humble! Kudos on Flappy Mac!

[@onigvd77]

hey its Gruz! good to see you guys collaborate! :)

[@hominidaetheodosia]

Never stop the no face flappy hand pointy gesticulation thing it’s flappin’ awesome!

[@RetroTechToys]

Crazy to see that running on a Mac Plus!

[@jorisw_]

The front panel on your Plus is gorgeous.

[@nynexman4464]

Sorry to be pedantic but "flappy" style games didn't originate on the smart phone. The "helicopter game" was a flash game that came out almost 10 years before flappy bird. It's basically the same thing, except the gaps and obstacles are flipped. I'd be surprised if there also wasn't some earlier desktop/console game that was similar. Still a fun genre and a great idea as game for older macs.

[@UpLateGeek]

I really should get around to putting the logic board back in my SE/30 after its recap. Unfortunately the SE/30 is packed away in its vintage carry case, on the bottom shelf behind a pile of other vintage computers, parts and storage tubs. Not easily accessible. But I'm happy to support game development for vintage machines, so I bought a digital copy anyway! :)

[@Frostbite..]

I love when a new action retro video comes out

[@joetheman74]

It's definitely faster with the setting checked. Maybe some people can't tell but for others it is obvious.

[@gr8gassy]

I never imagined the day where I would hear my Mac SE grunt like Tim Taylor.

[@DavidStahlOLDHAPPyMACs]

Sean You got Me Addicted I will have to get me A copy

[@andresbravo2003]

12:20 that laugh though.

[@gp3328]

I cant believe that I've been watching for a year!

[@DerekWitt]

We all know that PCB stands for Pretty Cool Bird, no? ;)

[@RedPMD]

now i need flappy windows

[@JapanPop]

Old macs give me wings!

[@haloreach4093]

@Action Retro. Where can I get that wallpaper that appears at 4:11 in the video?

[@ned3and]

This game is good for one button games for old 8-bit computers witch Joysticks XD

[@simpleton_dc2149]

I was looking at buying a physical copy after seeing Mac84's livestream, and now they are sold out.

[@eduardoavila646]

What is the game at 7:03

[@pseudotasuki]

"Drat!"

[@summerlaverdure]

I thought it was going to be some beautiful adventure game that really captured the spirit of what people were playing at the time. Nope, flappy bird ._.

[@goeland4585]

but... it's called _Flappy_ Mac

[@2048Megabytes.]

Why only system 6 and 7

[@esseferio]

Impressive. Also, weird seeing a face on this channel nowadays :)

[@the_holy_forestfairy]

"Flappy-Fancy-Hand"-Character as an Easter-Egg?

[@TheBasementChannel]

We’re all wondering what happened to your finger

[@ActionRetro]

😂 The computer bit me

[@minty_Joe]

@@ActionRetro Lemee guess...you were trying to open up a Power Macintosh 8100, right?

[@kaitlyn__L]

@@ActionRetro ah, a blood sacrifice to the computer gods :)

[@peperodriguez4306]

ok pero retira la mano cuando muestres los dos macs al final...

[@tayloralmond]

Hey not sure if you saw my comment a couple videos back, but I have a twentieth anniversary Mac if you're interested.

[@JVHShack]

Why are my emails being ignored, Sean? I have a big donation for you....

[@dexteroreilly]

Same here Sean! I sent two emails over a month ago!

[@ActionRetro]

Ah geez sorry guys, let me check my filtering

[@AlessandroCussino]

The Game Boy Advance version is better 😅 ...

[@CtrAltPod]

omg

[@Walker956]

flappy bird is boring and pointless.
