In fact the page I got it from said it was the CD-ROM version, but since the box was unopened the guy who sold it to me had no way of knowing it was the floppy version. For the record, I didn't know I was getting the Mac floppy version of the game in the first place. I'm not a regular Mac user so I'm not as knowledgeable about the language of Mac computers as others might be. Since they are self extracting archive, you would then just have to execute the sea file.Īh, I see now. Apple made MacOS 7.5 available as a free download and there may still be a link somewhere on their web site. If it doesn't work, a possibility would be to use an old mac emulator (e.g. There may be other utilities out there that are capable of extracting these archives. Actually I used to create sea files on MacOS 7 with CompactPro in the early 90'.Īs I wrote you can try to use Stuffit Expander for Windows and see if it can extract the archive (place all the files in the same folder and try to extract the first one). I got the message I was expecting, "ScummVM could not find any game in the specified directory!" What should be my next move?Ĭriezy wrote:I used MacOS 9 as meaning older than MacOS X. I've extracted the files from each game and I just attempted to add the games from ScummVM. I doubt that the games were meant for MacOS 9, but I see what's going on here. I guess the # extensions for all the files except the first one is because it is a segmented archive (you start to extract it from the first disk and then it asks each other disks in turn to complete the extraction). Stuffit used to be able to create those, so maybe Stuffit Expander can extract them (it is free and I think there is a Windows version nowadays). They are MacOS 9 self extracting archives (thus the sea extension). I'll attempt an extraction and see if ScummVM detects the games. and each folder contains a single file called "Fatty a", and furthermore, every disk number higher than one adds an extra ".#" to the end, again with # representing the disk number. Update 2: I'll give the software below a try, it will probably work better than TransMac anyways. Update: After examining the floppies with a free trial of TransMac, the disks all contain a single folder named "Fatty Bear Disk #" with the # representing the disk number (1-6) and each folder contains a single file called "Fatty a", and furthermore, every disk number higher than one adds an extra ".#" to the end, again with # representing the disk number. I'll update this post when I get more information. To be honest I'm not sure if my system will detect the disks since I'm running windows XP, a far cry from Macintosh for sure, but I'll definitely give a go at it. Do you have the capability of dumping the disks? What files are on there? Is the game detected? Speaking to clone, if you need any further information, we can discuss this through PMs if needed.Yes, this would be a rarity, I think. Also, on the side of the box it says that it was released in both High Density Disk and CD-ROM editions.Īnyways, I think I might have a gem on my hands. I also have the coinciding merchandise packed in with the game, such as Junior Adventurer's Handbook, mail-in slip for their newsletter, and a promotional insert detailing their other products. I got these from, and it still had what I'm assuming is its original shrink-wrap on it. This product uses ScummVM across Windows, Mac and Linux which is released under the GNU GPL v2.Retrodude wrote:I believe that these are from the very first releases in the 1992-93 era.
