Yes, it is a very simple OS. It did come with its Calculator, Note Pad,
Key Caps, control panel, etc. I tried to read the game's "Read Me

can't do it. :P
I had fun replaying this game that I used to play a lot on my Apple //c.
It was rad(ical) to see a Mac port since I never knew it existed. I
couldn't find any video recordings online, so I made my own:
