Huh, they included the mac/gs disk image in this thing.
So as I was browsing though the files I noticed it was using cef.dll. Its basicly a DLL that has a chrome mini browser in one file. I thought, "Well I don't see any js/html files in here, what about the resorce files"

Bingo! Looks like there are two 800K files, same size as the 800K mac drives. Looks like they load the disks up, and then read the files off the disk and run the game in a ScummVM like Web system.

Kind of torn. I mean, bravo for having a simple system while still keeping intact the disk's. I have been wanting a reason to fire up my old Mac Plus. On the other hand kind of wish they just put the disk images in the main directory instead of having to extract them va 7-Zip.

Yup, it's running on a web based emulator. I spent hours extracting and renaming the files to get it working in a browser (which does work), and then found the actual engine on github[github.com].

It's also possible to tweak the stylesheets to improve the presentation when running in a browser (remove bilinear filtering on graphics, add more appropriate fonts etc). I've got it looking pretty close to the original now.
