Hello Mac owners, I need your help!

My buddy just got a new Macbook, and that reminded me of an old game I used to play on the classic Mac's. I plan to get a Macbook after Christmas since I gotta be spending money on other people right now, can't be binging on myself.

The game is called Circuitry, although might of been spelt differently. I can't find anything through Google since it's such a common word; all I get are circuit boards. I played the game on the old box shaped Mac's and the monitor only displays black and white. The game was small enough to fit on a floppy. It was almost like a tetris type game where single squares would fall down and you had to link them up through the type of pattern it had.

Does anyone know what game I'm talking about? I'm not even sure if they have it for the newer generation Mac OS's.

Any help is appreciated.

Any old Macintosh games (before '06') can not be used on new Macintosh systems anymore. Since Apple started producing Mac computers with an Intel based processor, everything changed. Using Windows on an Apple computer became as easy as going to google.com :D. I've used more than one search engine (Google, Yahoo, Ask, and Altavista) but all I get (at least from the first two pages) is a puzzle flash game called Circuitry. So I'm sorry I couldn't be much of help.

Good luck and I hope you find what you want soon.

Thanks for trying. It's possible a port was put out after the Intel processors came out. Though I doubt that's the case since we'd probably find something on Google by now. I didn't know you could run old software on the new processors. Might be pointless searching now :(.

I wish you luck in whatever you're trying to get, alamarco. It's kind of hard to find Macintosh games to download free too, like warez sites and stuff, they are all biased Windows users :D. But you know, Apple's doing a good job providing us with all the applications we need on Macintosh OSX and for free. On Apple.com I mean.

Yeah, but I'm sure that will change. At the university I attend you see more and more Macs every year. Seems to me like Apple is starting to take some big chunks out of Microsoft's armour.

Yep, that's true. Here a lot of hospitals, factories, and offices are starting to use Macintosh too. It's only been one year since Apple stores opened here, and that's why Mac isn't famous you know. But it's going a huge step forward. If only the price wasn't that high, all Egypt would have it. Windows Computers became boring, a lot of people (at least me and my friends) use them for online games only. Other than that, Macintosh is the best.

I hope to be one saying the same thing soon :).
