Lunatic Fringe is a game originally distributed as an AfterDark screensaver

I remember this one! In the same spirit was Maelstrom (Ambrosia) and HemiRoids.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;macintoshgarden.org&#x2F;games&#x2F;hemiroids" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;macintoshgarden.org&#x2F;games&#x2F;hemiroids</a>

The author of the original game:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sticksoftware.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sticksoftware.com&#x2F;</a><p>The sealiesoftware implementation is I believe a 68k emulator - and since many AfterDark modules back then did direct frame buffer access, the number of toolbox traps that would need to be implemented could well be quite small.

I love that they want to recreate it, as I spent quite some time with the original when I was younger.<p>However, right now it doesn&#x27;t seem to run that well. I&#x27;m getting estimated framerates of around 5 fps on a M3 Macbook Pro, making it essentially unplayable.<p>I don&#x27;t see any other comments about the performance - am I the only one?

For those wondering, this project ports the game to run in modern browsers. Cool!

Is there a port of AfterDark that runs on MacOS? Would love the nostalgia.

Hm, can this be done with other After Dark games, like Rodger Dodger?

Why is it named after a Tom Cochrane &#x2F; Red Rider song?

All I want is an Escape Velocity MMO
