What was that game called, for the apple IIGS where you were a fish in a lake or something, and you either had to avoid other big fish or eat smaller fish? I think that's how it went. That game was pretty fun as well.

Edit: Found it, Odell Lake!
I vaguely remember something like this.

Did you find a playable version anywhere?


Edit: Found a screenshot. Link. Definitely familiar.

You need firefox?

Well, it does work with IE.

However, it's got a totally retarded installer. It does work with seamonkey/mozilla but the installer won't let it install.

You have to manually download the firefox addin (URL in the page source), and install it manually.

There ya go. We used to spend many hours playing that in college. The predecessor to Worms which is also fun. Except the version they slaughtered to put it on the XBox.

Requires windows? BS.

QFT. I wish my windows license on parallels didn't run out or I'd fire that up to check it out, guess I'll have to wait until I get home.

I tried to ford across a 3.1 feet deep river and like 30 feet wide and somehow they sank.

hahaha. I remember ****** like that happening. It used to put me into a rage.
 
I was going to correct you but then I was like, wait the game got it wrong too? I always thought it was spelled fjord but I guess that word has a different definition and the proper spelling in this usage is ford.

Learn something new everyday
 
no no. youre doing it all wrong. you hire an indian to help you cross the river. you give him 4 pairs of pants and 20lbs of food. duh

and i must be a weakling because i can kill 4,000 lbs of food but only carry 100lbs back.
