Help please, unable to play game

[zanna]

Hello, I've been unable to play Case of the Crabs. When I try to play online, it loads part way and then crashes the browser. I've never had trouble playing online flash games and such. I also tried to download and play this way. I know it says mac compatible, but maybe only for powerpc? I have an intel macbook. So it won't let me play the file after downloaded. Also, I've tried different browsers such as firefox, camino, and safari? Has this happened to anyone else? I'd love to play this game. I've already played Brain Hotel with no problems. Thanks!

I'll look into why the game is crashing online.. Ive never had that problem before.

There is some strange reason the MAC version is not currently working. Iv'e tried to fix the problem, but so far it seems like a file conversion problem. I need to access a Mac and try to upload the new files directly.

Hopefully I can get this fixed soon.

Try this:

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.
