Bad Day on the Midway

Back in the 90s, “CD-ROMS” meant full length films on disk (the size of a thumbnail, mind you) and artists like Laurie Anderson and The Residents putting out some of the best digital content since the invention of the internet. I owned a few of these multimedia experiences like, Comic Book Confidential and my favorite Bad Day on the Midway.

I guess the reason I’m posting this is that given my usual gripe about digital content being little more than an ephemeral memory, I can’t seem to find a fix or patch to get Bad Day working on OSX. So much for retrofitting and backwards compatibility.

If anyone out there has an idea, I’d love to revisit these great bits of history, instead of seeing them as nothing more than coasters.
