"Macintosh Garden"

yea MG is in the same state its been at for a wile. some times the game downloads dont work. non of the game pic's work for the game page. over filled with spam in the reviews and forum. and a slow speed.

 
Aah, the Macintosh Garden... such a wonderful site! Unfortunately it's not very 68k Mac / browser friendly - certainly my Quadra nearly always freezes up while loading the site's pages.

 
humm my 68k (Performa 475) goes to it just fine. i use icab to do most of the browsing on it. but it can be a memory hog and dont like it if you dont allocate enough ram to it. since i have 132mb ram i can push up the memory allocation a bit and it seems to act allot better than with it at the stock setting.

i have ran accost sites that locked the system up totally to where i have to force restart it

its to bad MG hasn't got anything fixed, seems as tho there host isn't listening and dont care

 
You do realize this qualifies as a warez site as many of the programs they have for download are still under copyright, right? Legally, there is no such as abandonware until the owner of the copyright signs a release placing the work in the public domain. It doesn't matter if the copyright holder doesn't publish or update the software for 20 years, they still own it and downloading it is still illegal.

 
Quadraman - Then go ahead and try to find the developer for every piece of software on that website and tell them. Good luck.

The website hasn't changed - It's still very slow and clunky. Shame they can't move it to some real servers and restart it from scratch.

 
I'm just saying it because of the potential liability to ~tl for allowing links to it to be posted here against the rules relating to that sort of thing.

 
I've only ever tried loading Macintosh Garden on my Quadra 700 which only has 20MB of RAM in it, which is probably where the problem lies.

 
if you want 68k games with spam on the side, MG is the place to go.

but like it say's on there site. if the developer dont want it up they can ask them to remove it and they will. and it will get added to the list of software not allowed on there.

 
That website looks promising. I hope I can actually extract the files from this website.

EDIT: I could get simcity and flight simulator expanded, though flight simulator was a diskdup+ file and simcity was a non-working .img file. I am very unlucky with Macintosh games. If anybody has a simcity disk image I would be the happiest person for a while.

 
Hecks YES! Alls I ever had to play on my lovelies were SimWhatever games, Oregon Trail, Duke Nukem, and the first Warcraft. Now I have even more ways to waste my day, so long as the downloads work. I have a copy of SimCity 1.4c, but I don't think it likes System 7.5. Maybe it would cooperate better with 6.0.8 or 7.1. Perhaps I should try Basilisk and see if that makes it work.
