This is an outstanding software title, and the story is wonderful and engrossing, but unfortunately the Amazon listings do not show the age of the product. I believe this may be the old MacOS "Classic" version along with the Windows 95/98 version.
In many cases you will be able to get some of the older software like this to work on Windows 7/Vista, as those platforms are more concerned with compatibility. In the case of newer Intel Macs, you will not get this software to run at all unless you run it with emulation software.
Suggestions for Mac Users:
*Pick up an old iMac, install OS 8.6 or 9. Set the screen size to 640x480. It will run happily there as designed.
*Install an emulator like Parallels, install Windows XP, and run it there.
It is possible to run "Classic" emulators on your Intel Mac but in general the experience will be far less polished and you'll need to spend quite a bit of time to get the emulation running like you want.
Disclaimer: It is possible that this software title does work on Intel Macs. However, I can't confirm except for the fact that I recently had to install this software for a teacher and it was the Classic version from circa 1995.
