G'day and welcome to the forums.
Down Under, the only catalogue available was from AMUG (Australian Macintosh Users Groups). Remember update 7.0.1 for System 7 came on sixteen floppies, added to the eighteen of the original system. Everything came on floppies in the days before CDs.
what the heck are you talking about? i'm talking about the catalogue that you would order mac games from, games like battle chess, lunicus, hellcab, you don't know jack. does anyone have one of those old catalogues from the mid 90's, and what was that service that delivered the games via truck or air called?
Please let's be careful using the "masked words"/curse words...we don't allow that around here...thanks.
As to your question. One of the catalogs was MacWarehouse...another was MacConnection...there were probably other too. The delivery company you're thinking of may have been "Airborne Express". I think that they were bought by DHL around 2003.

thanks. and no, it was not airborne express. different name, that i do not remember. do you have any copies of macwarehouse catalogues? do you remember the name of the surgery simulation game they were pushing, something like "surgeon"?
Well aren't you the lucky so and so's?
Only been a Mac user since 1990 and never set eyes on a catalogue.

Geez…I used to get MacWarehouse catalogs what seemed like every week for like 8-10 years. I may still have a couple laying around in an old box of dusty stuff.
Could the game be called "Life & Death"?
- Nick
can you try to find one of them from the mid 90's and check for the name of the delivery service and also the name of the surgeon game?
I'll send you my Paypal email address for services rendered!
FYI...the delivery company that MacWarehouse used (that I remember mostly) was Airborne. I got quite a few packages from them.
- Nick
it wasn't airborne. i might be thinking of a different catalogue
It was Airborne if it was MacWarehouse (in the U.S.).
Where are you from?...your spelling "catalogue" the Canadian/UK/Australian/Commonwealth way!
We may be on opposite sides of the world...where the delivery companies back in the 1990's may have been totally different!

no, i'm from america, despite my spelling of that word. the catalogue i'm thinking of was always pushing "You don't know jack" and this surgeon game that i don't remember the name of. along with hellcab which my dad ordered from this catalogue.
You are ABSOLUTELY right…I remember both "You don't know jack" and "Hellcab" constantly being pushed. Are you saying that the surgeon game wasn't "Life or Death" that I mentioned earlier?
