What's this old Mac SE-era adventure game...?

[ianstein16]

I remember playing this kind of text-adventure game on my dad's Mac SE when I was a kid. It seemed to be based on 2001: A Space Odyssey, and even referenced characters such as HAL and Dave, and the spaceship Discovery. You would type in commands like "Go west", "Open pod bay door", etc. It had a bitchin' opening tune, and I think the name had the word "Falcon" in it perhaps...?

If anyone can help me remember, I would greatly appreciate it!

While not the game you're looking for, go into Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app and type

emacs -batch -l dunnet

Pretty fun text based game.

awww, no one wants to reminisce about Shufflepuck Cafe?

(originally a black and white game for the SE-era Macs)

Ahah! Shufflepuck was just unplayable on a SE/30 the fpu made it run at a too much high fps and it was quiet a nightmare in the final stages
