About

Canfield by Michael A. Casteel is one of the original Macintosh shareware games, first released in 1984 for the 128K Mac and continuously updated for more than a decade. Version 6.0, preserved here, adds full built-in color while still running on hardware as old as a Mac Plus.The card gameCanfield is a Klondike-family solitaire with a 13-card reserve, four foundations built up by suit, and a tableau of four piles built down by alternating colors. It is famously hard to win — the namesake casino version is said to have favored the house heavily.A pioneering shareware titleCasteel released the first version in 1984, making Canfield one of the earliest shareware programs on any platform. The game evolved through monochrome editions in the mid-1980s, gained color in version 2.0c (1987), and reached version 6.0 in January 1995.CompatibilityVersion 6.0 was specifically engineered for backwards compatibility: it auto-detects color QuickDraw, falls back gracefully to black-and-white, and runs on everything from a Mac Plus through Power Mac. Later 4.x/6.x revisions are reported to work under Mac OS 9.DistributionOriginally distributed as a Compact Pro archive (Canfield.6.0.cpt.hqx) via Info-Mac in January 1995, with the author Michael A. Casteel listed as direct uploader.
