Emulation
Guides on emulating older games

A game compilation by Mindscape featuring the games: Maniac Sports, The Chessmaster 3000, Vette!, and Wordtris, along with The Software Toolworks U.S. Atlas 3.0.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k PPC

The games seem to have issues running on Mac OS 9.2.2, the only platform I have to test. With this compilation being released in 1994, I believe it's meant to run on System 7. I can get the Wordtris game to run. However, it asks for an answer to a question and references a page number, perhaps something like a game key.

I can get the Wordtris game to run. However, it asks for an answer to a question and references a page number, perhaps something like a game key.

What it's doing is asking for the first four letters of an authors name. These names appear on several pages of the user guide as quotes in the page margins. When you first start the game it will ask for the first 4 letters of a name on a given page number.

There is a user guide included in with the Wordtris game folder here. Its name is labelled "Wordtris Manual" and it self-runs when you double-click it. Perhaps there is a user guide included in with this games folder, too (I haven't look at the CD content on this page)? It contains the author names that you need to start the game.
