4AM has begun work on a new second stream of released, preserved, and emulated software: MOOF A DAY. These are early-era Macintosh commercial releases that in many cases never got a non-cracked preserved release, and they are now.

This is big, big. These are original Mac works that have famous names (or famous names on other platforms) and can now be booted in disk image format in MAME and therefore Internet Archive. (Due to the way the mouse works, go full-screen when playing them.)

i guess the next question is.. does floppy emu support moof files. and if not.. will it?

Maybe this will eventually become a HD game compilation like they did with Total Replay for the Apple II...

The MacPack is kinda like that - works with emulators and Blue/RaSCSI too - https://archive.org/details/macpack-20211212
