Lightkeeper
Alone on a remote island, you're tasked with keeping a lighthouse. But the horrific events that claimed the lives of previous keepers still whisper through the air. Each day, the line between reality and delusion fades and something in the dark is waiting for the last keeper
This game is essentially abandonware without a modern binary; it is unsupported on macOS without the use of specialized mainframe emulators or modern source-code recompilation.
What the world thinks
To play it on a Mac, you must use a terminal emulator like iTerm2 and connect to a legacy mainframe preservation server if one is hosting the source, or find a port rewritten in a modern language like Python or C that can be compiled via Homebrew.
- Emulators: You can attempt to use an Altair 8800 simulator or an early PDP-11 emulator (like SIMH) if you can locate the original tape image or source code.
- Source Recompilation: If you find a preserved version of the code, you can use the Command Line Tools for Xcode to compile the source into a local binary.
