How do I play the games on Mac?

[macfly77]

Hi.

I'm a new Mac user and I've just purchased the CD-Rom with all three games. However, I'm not sure how to run them.
When I double click on the file, the computer tells me that no application has been chosen to run them.
What should I do?
Thank you!

There two sections on the CD, one for PC and one for Mac. Make sure that you are looking in the right folder (Sometimes the filenames get shortened making it hard to tell.) If one folder has no recognizable filetypes, try the other folder!

I am in the right folder but it won't work.
I have MacOSx 10.2.8. Is that enough to run the games?
No matter how I do it, it tells me that I need to pick a software (or an application) to run the game.
Sorry if I sound stupid, but I "inherited" the iBook from my Dad less than a week ago and I'm not too familiar with it yet.

Thanks.

Steve

If nothing else it could be said that one of Mr. Darrins strongest points was his user support skills, let him be remembered most by that.

Three years later, I finally looked into it again and figured out how to play the game on Mac.

1) Download it from the website (go to www.otterarchives.com/bountygame.html, click on "Play Now!", click on command-option-a to get a list of all the files from that window and, while holding the "option" key, double click on the cotc.swf file).
2) Download and install a free software called SWF & FLV Player ( from mac.eltima.com/freeflashplayer.html ).
3) Open the cotc.swf file with SWF & FLV Player.

You're all set!
