Ready when you are.

Getting started

Open the Arcade disk, then the Chrysanthemum 1.01 folder, and double-click the application.

  • Choose Play Game on the title screen. Choose Keys lets you check or change the controls; Instructions explains the flower puzzle.
  • If the Mac asks for a colour mode, choose 256 colours in Control Panels → Monitors.

Click inside the game to give it keyboard focus. Full screen gives you more room; Escape leaves full screen.

Before you settle in

These games were made for a keyboard and mouse. A laptop or desktop is the best way to play; the DOS player also has an on-screen keyboard.

The game disk is a fresh copy each time. To keep a saved game, copy the game folder onto Saved HD first, then run that copy. Double-click the Saved HD name to open it. Browser storage can be cleared, so don’t treat it as your only copy.
