Wanderer I: The Cult of Misery brings Quinn Dunki’s obscure freeware role-playing game into the modern browser.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The browser version reconstructs the original Macintosh engine from disassembled 68000 code and decoded game data, then loads the 1997 maps, characters, items, dialogue, and save format. The page reports comparison tests against a Basilisk II instance, including matching random rolls, monster movement, damage, and saved-game loading. The playable scope includes the full route from Horseshoe to the Emperor’s citadel, while sound, preferences, help, and touch controls remain listed as unfinished.
