Obsidian

I'm not sure that I follow, crmurray.

Obsidian installs a folder with data files and an Obsidian app to an Obsidian folder that's fairly easy to find, like most Mac applications and games do. It even adds an alias called " Play Obsidian" to your Apple Menu, to make it clear that you need to launch the game with the Obsidian app. I'm not sure I'm a fan of the Apple Menu addition, but it's there.

Are you sure that you've run the installer? Or is the problem something else, like this game crashing on launch when you run it in SheepShaver on the latest macOS?

Director Bill Davis was an interesting personality, he ran creative for Sierra during the early 90s. Often criticized by staff for running the company too much like a Hollywood studio, right down to storyboarding every game to minute detail.

That made for a number of games with puzzles that didn't go through much play testing and, while the presentation of 90s Sierra CD-ROM titles was certainly cinematic, it didn't leave much room for varied solutions, randomized events or even neat arcade distractions compared to earlier Sierra games like The Colonel's Bequest and Space Quest III. He also had a very unique visual style seen in EcoQuest and Pepper's Adventures in Time that's a bit like a rubbery CalTech look, which unfortunately isn't in Obsidian.

Not to downplay the other personalities behind Obsidian. It's a game that deserves more of a chance than it got... I do love this one in the same way that I love Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh. Weird and wonderful, and dorky.

yeah, and you've uploaded more than your fair share of stuff.

Check eBay every day, got about 7 saved searches that throw up everything we may be interested in, usually 70% of it is Championship Manager and The Incredibles here in the UK. Can't remember specifics, many months ago a great find came up at a great price on Buy It Now (notified by email), went straight to the link. Already sold. Less than 4 minutes and it was gone.
I'm sure these guys that sell the old games at silly prices ie. £40 / $60 are the same ones that outbid me when they come up for pennies - I've seen 2 copies of a game come up, both with bids at £0.99, I've bid £5 or so on the first and I may get a winning bid of £4 up until the last 20 seconds, then someone will outbid me while the second copy finishing 5 minutes later is still at £0.99. But I suppose that's the way it goes.

@ MCP:
Last time I was looking to buy it the price was at $50 and it was only available at half.com =\ Apparently people decided to finally start letting go of their old games after Classic went away...

"I've been waiting twelve years to get to play this game"

One would think you could have saved up twenty bucks in twelve years.

This is game, quite frankly, is a work of art.
It's one of the few games I place among my favorites that I still haven't actually beaten.
Really tough puzzles.

Thank god the version released to mac had an updated soundtrack.

Is this abandonware or not? If so, upload the full game.

Buy-links to Amazon are OK, I think.

Sorry MacWise, that disk is actually a manually crafted one, it excludes all the big movies.
And I included the Amazon link only for other people as info and if can still be bought via the developers why should post a game which is not abandonware... I can remove it if you like...
