Running Linux, and used to play this Castlevania rpg game with my kids on 
Nintendo box.  It was a fun little game.  Now running Linux on laptops, 
and have an iMac.  Is it available?

It's probably illegal to download NES roms and run them on fceu in linux....
just saying...

Also, in Simons Quest the translation from japanese was so awful, one usually 
would not understand the hints needed to progress the story.

My daughter, who was 12 and my son who was 9, figured it out over the 
summer of 90.  It was merely going around collecting the pieces of 
Dracula, but it did not seem to have a language problem.  Of course, kids 
can figure out anything!
