Tried it but never finished it. It is actually possible to get it as an X11 application via Fink.

Sorry about that :-[ My brother installed it on my imac, so I never really knew the origin.

There goes the last reason which makes me sometimes think that PC's have some use

But the sound won't play. Is it normal?

[Wingy]

Er... no... that's not normal... and it's not for PC, as far as I know. Why don't you just like... go to a friend who has classic, copy their OS 9 folder onto a CD, and then put it on your computer by copying it into /System/Libary/. Then go play Monkey Island OS 9 version by downloading it off http://mac.the-underdogs.info/

I did it with my dad's G5 that came with the classic folder.

Then, the sound would work. There's only music and sound effects, no speech. Did you check the menu to make sure Music and Sound were checked off?

Please note that the Classic environment does not work on intel machines.

[Wingy]

*sigh* How pitiful.

I meant Monkey Island, which I used to see as the only reason why anybody would want a PC (then again, I'm quite biased). And I have classic on my laptop! I even use it for work, sometimes : I'll get the OS9 version then, thanks!

(I'll check the menu as well, just in case.)

Can't believe someone still has a running LC! Mine literally fried itself out. :'(

Love

Monkey Island

Also

Glider

- which last time I looked was free and playable in OSX.

For shareware, I adore the games from Spiderweb Software. I've played them all ever since they hit my computer.

Can't remember what other games I played. There was a cool space shooting thing in my screen saver thing from Berkeley software. I taught my boss to play that one. ;D
