Mar 16, 2010 12:51 PM in response to kv991by V.K.,the only way to possibly run classic apps on your computer is by using a classic emulator Sheepshaver

but that's quite tricky to set up. a better option might be to get a cheap used PPC mac and run classic on that. not sure it's worth it for one game though. -
Mar 16, 2010 2:06 PM in response to kv991by thomas_r.,I'm not sure what whoever pointed you to Toast was talking about... clearly, they didn't either.
The emulator, as V.K. pointed out, is called SheepShaver. However, one major problem to getting it set up is that you must have an old PowerPC Mac from which to capture an image of the ROM. You can't download an image of the ROM, since that would be classified as piracy. If you have an old machine from which to create a ROM image, you also have an old machine on which you could run the game. That would undoubtedly be easier and perform better than an emulated PowerPC environment on an Intel machine. -
Mar 16, 2010 2:28 PM in response to kv991by a brody,Believe it or not you may have an easier time running that program in Windows on your Mac! That game was made for Windows, and there is better old Windows support for Intel Macs than there is Mac OS 9 support. See my FAQ*:

And see http://www.macmaps.com/macgamepages.html
to see if there are any patches to make it Mac OS X Intel compatible.
