Comments
If you want to burn this CD, please be sure to burn CD-ROM partition first without finishing the CD, then add Audio CD partition starting with audio track 2, creating a mixed-mode CD-ROM.
The publisher's website is archived here: http://www.polhosting.info/web-archives/french-touch/
That includes the downloads section! They made other products too.
Btw, you can d/l the given non-english version (which is 1.0 ), and just add water, um, the (current) update 1.0.3 to the game copied to hard disk. It works language-independent.
Thanks for uploading this, IIGS User. I think I found it at some point, maybe just a demo, but I got sidetracked before I could upload it. I will check to see if I can find an updater for it now...
I've found another link for Waterrace, specifying a version 1.1 of this game:
http://download.cnet.com/WaterRace/3000-7551_4-10057364.html
If anyone got the Updater 1.1 for the full version, please add!
I've experimented a bit with this game to get it run within SheepShaver.
I know for sure I ran it with an older version of SheepShaver on a PowerPC G4 Mac, but the current version of SheepShaver will not run this game.
I've re-activated my PowerBook Pismo, which is highly recommended to run this game, experimenting with different settings, then I moved its Preferences file into SheepShaver
(D/L the Preferences file linked above as long as it not will be removed by anyone).
Resulting in no longer crashing SheepShaver, but at least showing a msg box 'Cannot set display state'.
If it only had worked this way...
