The Disk Copy 4.2 image (2nd DL above) is version 1.03av from 1993, a 68k Macintosh app. It appears to be copy protected, in that it requires you to have the install floppy disk loaded before it will play. A mounted disk image will not do, so it needs work in that area. - It works great on my Centris 660av running SSW 7.1.1, but not everyone will have one of those at hand...
The pre-installed 1st DL above, might be easier to use.
Comments
I couldn't get any in-game screenshots as the keyboard shortcuts to take them wouldn't work. But I was able to get a grab of one of the title screens in colour.
The readme on the disk states that the 1.12 version is for PowerPC but you have to run the older 1.03 first to avoid getting asked for the "master disk".
Update: I fired it up in Basilisk II and got a colour in-game shot.
This screenshot must have been created with Mini vMac then.
A short test of mine confirms the runability in Bas, but in Mini vMac the game asks for its Master disk.
The screenshot is black and white? This game is full color (well, at at last 256)... Somebody has to make a new version of this game...
