It's a really old game for Mac OS 7 or 8. It played a lot like mario, but you were a pig. You had to go from room to room collecting keys and weapons upgrades. It was 2D and was made by company from California. Google came up with nothing but stuff for Warcarft.

Can't say I've ever heard of it, but it does sound like my type of game so I'll be interested to see if anyone knows the answer.

No, he's not.
I know which game NILL speaks of. I remember playing it many, many years ago on my Performa 250. I had obtained it from a Software of the Month Club volume, which I've still got the floppies for, too. As of two years ago, these floppies still work perfectly, and I believe I already still have it installed on that same Performa 250. I can probably upload it somewhere when I get the chance to copy it.

I dont know if it would fit on a floppy. It was a Club that sent you cds every month, but I played it at school. The teacher was the one that would install that stuff.

I don't remember receiving CDs. Of course, that's probably because we dropped out of our SMC subscription in the mid-90s. They must have changed their format after we left.
Yarr! You kids got it easy. Back in my day, SMC really did send floppies!
OK, I'll cut it out now. But seriously...
How did they do this, you ask?
Multiple floppies.
As time went on, it would no longer become odd for a volume to have 12 disks total. Everything would be segmented into different installation files on the different disks- when it was done with one, you had to insert another disk upon another disk until it was done.
That's the way it was, and we liked it!
Gwa-ha.

I knew it was done like that. I just didnt think a magizine would do that. And what are you talking about, game makers are puting games on to upto 6 cds now and not going dvd because of about 10% of people dont have them. At least on the PC side

Have you tried contacting some of the people you played the game with?
