Does Anyone Know This Silly Game?

[Juliet Elysa]

Hi everyone!

When I was a toddler I was addicted to a certain game, and I can't find it anywhere. It ran on either System 7.5.1 or Mac OS 8.6, and it was really stupid (looking back on it as an adult, anyways).

The vivid memory I have of it is a buffalo in the center of the screen, and there were random things on the edges around his face. You would click something (the one I remember is a piece of cake with pink frosting) and he'd say "For me?" Then he'd take it and eat it in a very rude way.

I can't remember if that was the entire game or if there was some other part with it. From what I can tell it wasn't popular at all, but I liked it for some reason.  }

Sounds like a game for children. Did you try this page?

I didn't recognize it there, but there were SO many other games from my childhood! Was a nice trip down memory lane.

Just as a heads up, I've removed the link to pirated software.

The rules disallow links to pirated software, under the section "Please obey the law..."

:O That site has pirated software? Dang, good to know!

Mac Garden is what's considered "abandon ware", which is in the lovely legal gray area, as most of the original copyright holders are unreachable and ownership of the content is unclear, and the content is unpurchasable today except in a used or new-old-stock format. . You might see a game from ABC Software Products, except they folded fifteen years ago and no one bothered to purchase the assets or release the rights to the public.

As it's in a gray area they don't like to see links on this site for liability reasons.

Be warned, Juliet, about downloaded software.

Some have viruses and there *are* viruses for the Mac. If you start seeing an extension called '666', for example, in your extensions folder, then you have one already. I bought myself a copy of Norton Antivirus on CD on eBay and I scrubbed my macs with it.

well, Disinfectant is shareware and should stomp out most of the old stuff

Mac Garden site do weed out old software if the copyright holder demands it.  You won't find EA games available for download.  I had to find an original Bard's Tale disks for my Mac.

I'm pretty religious about virus scanning everything I download. There was a time when I got something nasty from being careless and had to reformat my entire drive (losing everything, since my backups were infected too) to get rid of it. I'm using a Windows machine as my main computer at the moment, as much as it drives me nuts...
