CompatibilityLike 'Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy' (not included in this download), you don't need to configure a Mac emulator to play these games, because 'Zoom' does the job for you, too.
For Zoom, please refer to its homepage at http://www.logicalshift.demon.co.uk/mac/zoom.html
To get the games recognized by Zoom, please add the extension ".z5" (without quotes) to the Suspended application name.

This game is good but it's hard. The robots are your eyes and hands, but only one of them can see for real. The others find their way around through sonar imaging, audio detection, energy monitoring and direct link with the Central Library Core. So, until you see things the same way Waldo or Sensa do, the game's impossible to beat. But once you do, then it's all matter of beating the clock . . . and figuring out how to insert the reset code. (Hint: each syllable represents a circle.)
