This looks good. Installer > Installed.
Found it sitting on my hard drive, try not to delete it this time ^_^
What i uploaded in Dec last year was from the same Macformat but your one is 5MB bigger. I can only assume i uploaded what was installed rather than the installer.
Try installing Klick & Play and then uploading that
It's an exact copy of the folder as it was on the cover disc. I know the readme had the serial to use, I'll see what the magazine has to say about installing it.
Thanks bertyboy...but I'm having trouble getting your upload to work. The installer says it needs a CD to be inserted to install from, and the game app says it needs the installer to do its thing first. Catch-22 I guess.
ADD: I wish I could access the original upload for comparison, but I can't get at it.
Yes, this one never should have been removed from the site.
Yes please, looks pretty interesting. Only got the last version on here and it was a tiny file.
Thanks.
So I've upped v1.0 of Klik n Play to MU, as released in the UK by EuroPress.
It was distributed on the cover disc of MacFormat 70 in December 1995.
Can I post the link here ? or not ?
All the chatter about this has made me want it.
In the UK, the full version came on the cover disc of MacFormat 70, 68.2MB.
Is there any chance that this was an older version. I'll check rights and upload to MU later today.
There are three very strong arguments here that can probably support the re-inclusion of this program, however i won't be able to acquire the copy i had until near christmas if anyone else can pop it up instead
Objection! Maxis only published Klik & Play for DOS, and Maxis never had the K&P rights to begin with. It only had a license.
Hold on a second, while Klik & Play was PUBLISHED by Maxis in the States, so that release is EA property, the Europe version was released by Europress. We could track that down, because it was nothing to do with EA.
@nmz502:
I believe it was removed because the publisher for Kilk 'n' Play in the U.S. was Maxis (who is now owned by EA).
If we could find another page where to get it, we could link to the page (not the file):
why was this removed? "This is the full version released as Freeware on December 1998, with more objects to use and about 20 pre-made games."
IT WAS FREEWARE
Yeah but how would the files' information get changed to those dates? StuffIt doesn't change the files' information when it archives it.
Dead PRAM batteries are either at January 1904 or August 1956.
i wandered if it was done with a dead pram battery but then again that usually sees the date at 1973-ish
Just out of curiosity, why do all the files in the 23MB archive have creation or modification dates set to the year 1904? How would that happen?
The Mac OS version is better. Upload away!
The full version was bundled with a MacFormat, it may take me till tomorrow to find as its at my parent's house but i could upload it then if no-one likes the idea of fiddling about in DOS
If it is a DOS exe then it should run with no problem with Virtual PC or SoftWindows.
Ah, sorry!
Read your message about being a DOS release and thought you had the means to use that version to compile a Mac version. Well, link is there for anyone interested.
@swedebear: It's a .exe...
The School License version can be dl:ed from here!
The page carrying the links says this version is equal to the full-price commercial one.
Maybe... If you could find it. I did a quick google search, but only found a demo. If you find anything useful, feel free to update the archive.
This was released for DOS...maybe some stuff could be snagged from that full version?
Another cool thing is that if you find any old Klik & Play games for PC, you can use this to convert them and play them on your mac.
I found this on the internet. It didn't have any samples or graphics libraries included, so I put in the ones from my demo. Therefore, this may be missing quite a lot of stuff that the full version had.
Interestingly, this is registered to "Epic Banana". Could it be the very same copy that was used to make The Establishment? This is a collector's item right here!
I don't know if this was the first game-creating program, but when it was released it became an instant hit. There was a time when you couldn't visit a gaming site and not encounter a few dozens links to shareware games made with Klik & Play. In that sense, it was the Flash technology of the mid-nineties.
I was just wondering about this one! The only place I had ever seen it was in an old Maxis catalog, and all it said was "coming soon to macintosh."
I was also just wondering about a turkey sandwich with lots of cheeeese.
