Long time roguelike player but CDDA first timer here. Just wanted to share that retro setup I’m going for for my first plays:

 ![CDDA_retro](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/cataclysmdda/original/2X/d/dbaa0347e457435df827909ecd0c6742e752729b.jpeg)

Recipe:

- Buy Cathode terminal emulator & customize it to your liking
- Download and install CDDA curses
- Run this from inside Cathode: `cd /Applications/Cataclysm.app/Contents/Resources/ && ./cataclysm`
