I'm looking for an old mac game that was more adventure/strategyesque Myst-like game where you had to coordinate objects and things time-traveling between 3 people (fat white guy, alien, and chick) to fix the problems in george-washington era house, modern day, and future. I distinctly remember a time-traveling port-o-potty if that helps? Hope someone knows

This is the classic Lucasarts adventure, sequel to Maniac Mansion, Day of The Tentacle.

Eric,

I know that might sound expensive folks, but considering the Mac version is going for $260, it's a bargain!

There, fixed that for you.

Fixed fixing that for you :happy:

. Their recent interactions with Telltale appear to have dea$&*%@#ified LucasArts somewhat, so they have recently decided to fix up and release their back-catalog on Steam. There's only four classic adventure games and a few newer titles so far, but they've pledged this is only the beginning.

Actually, it's just $20.

Eric.

Apologies. I thought we were heading into forbidden territory. I'm sure I'll be suitably chastised for taking on tBC's roles unless I put more i this month's insurance envelope.

It doesn't matter which version you buy (so long as its not off Steam), you can run them all using ScummVM.
If you want a legally downloadable version of any older game, then your best best is to wait for it to turn up on Good Old Games. No DRM, no CD, just pure downloadable goodness. And they're all guaranteed to work in both XP and Vista (and so Windows 7) too

No need for apologies! You did good Lenny. I'll save the little talk about the bunny farm for another day.
