Archived from groups: comp>sys>mac>games>action (more info?)

Evening,

I'm looking for an old mac game. Came out sometime after 1984 (well of
course, it was for the mac) Smile

It was called "Make Millions" and is probably one of the best business
sims I've every played.
My original 128k floppy no longer works, even though I have an old
machine that would run it.

I've emailed the original publisher and they no longer have any
archived copies. The original developer seems to be out of business.

I'm interested in playing it, if even only on an emulator and can't
find it anywhere.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
L

Boy, that isn't an easy one to dig up, eh? I'll forward the usual
suspects along, though in a few minutes of digging I didn't find
anything. These sites really are starting to show their age a bit, what
with broken links, etc.

I usually start with System 6 Heaven:

Others I found via S6H (that have, so far, proven fruitless):
http://jagshouse.com/
http://www1.linkclub.or.jp/~kenfuji/Game%20Library.htm
http://www.applefritter.com/software/bcs/index.html
http://files.chatnfiles.com/

A list of games that seemed pretty promising that I've not exhausted:
http://www.jagshouse.com/classicsoftware.html (see "Games" section of
links). For a shot at getting a working disk, try the LowEndMac.com
swap list.

Sure you got the name right? Who is the original publisher?

Good luck.

Thanks tons for the links.

I'll look through your list. A few sites there I don't think I've been
to before.

I know the name is right because I still have the original instruction
manual.
I'm looking at it now. lol

Publisher was Tom Snyder productions. (I have emailed them within the
last year, to no avail.)
Looks like it was created by Tom Snyder Prod. and licensed to
Mindscape and Scarborough Systems, Inc.
TSP told me that Scarborough was defunct and they themselves had
nothing in the archives. Sad

I might look up Mindscape to see what happened to them?

Thanks again for the reply. I figure, the more eyes looking for this
the better.
Maybe even some random person has a floppy laying around that isn't a
coaster.

Smile

Great Game! I remember it to be quite a challenge: the stock market, learning how to run a company, the guitar industry, had fun animations....

I bought this game several years ago on eBay, but it won't play on any of my Macs or in a Windows Mac emulation!

So what kind of mac you have? What's the model, ram, system....
Are you able to make a backup of these types of games?
