First you were yanked out of reality and told that your entire life has been a simulation, and that you yourself are a sentient computer program. And now your universe is going to be fast-forwarded, so you can relay the simulated consequences of a politician's scheme for "Renewed National Purpose"...

CompatibilityOriginal interpreter 'Zoom':
Like 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' (not included in this download), you don't need to configure a Mac emulator to play these games, because 'Zoom' does the job for you, too.
For Zoom, please refer to its homepage at https://www.logicalshift.co.uk/unix/zoom/
Zoom hint:
To get the games recognized by Zoom, please add the extension ".z5" (without quotes) to the application name.
ScummVM:
Starting with version 2.2.0, ScummVM also runs these games.
Comments
One of the best games EVER made ....
Infocom fan or no, you owe it to yourself to play this game.
Here's a copy of the game docs:
http://infocom.elsewhere.org/gallery/amfv/amfv.html
You'll need to consult the chart there to enter simulation mode.
Hint: you will need to "wait" a bit, or spend time listening to one of the communication channels before entering the simulation and really playing the game.
Tested to run fine in Basilisk II with Mac OS 7 or later. Should work just fine in Mini vMac or the ZOOM infocom interpreter for OS X.
Edit: Replaced 'xxx 7' with 'Mac OS 7' - IIGS User
A highlight of the text-adventure genre. One of the best!
