Does Infotron works on OS X 10.4?

Hello.

I wish to download the game Infotron. Does it works on OS X 10.4? And what kind of emulation do I need?
I'm really confused :S. I hope someone could give me an helping hand, because I simply _have_ to play this game Smile

If your Mac is PPC you can play it with Classic. If it's an Intel Mac, you need to install a third-party emulator such as Basilisk II. Here's a nice tutorial for it with links and screenshots:

After you have decompressed the infotron.sit file with StuffIt Expander, mount the Basilisk II image on the Finder and copy the Infotron folder into it. Unmount the image and run Basilisk II.

Hello Jeanette, when you start Basilisk II, will it open a window?

Yes, the Basilisk starts perfectly and the window opens. But it shuts off when I start a game :S So far I could see, it must be some problems with running the games. Maybe too little RAM on my mac?

The amount of RAM is easily adjusted in Basilisk´s 'Preferences' or 'Basilisk GUI'. I ran this game on my Basilisk w OS 7.5.5 and without any hiccups. My RAM setting for Basilisk is 64MB. Have you checked the 'Ignore Illegal Memory Access' in 'Preferences' or 'Basilisk GUI'?
