    OS X Bungies Oni on MBP and Trash Can?

    Got a bit nostalgic for some Oni Goodness after spending some time on this Forum. Could not get it to run on my Trash Can running 10.14.6 but thought I might have it on a mid 2014 MBP running High Sierra and Lo and Behold it fired right up!! Vs 1.2 via the Omni Group Mac OS Intel Port.
