About

Forty Thieves is a shareware Macintosh solitaire card game by Eric Snider, released in 1990 and later updated through version 2.1.2. The game features both black-and-white and color graphics, with two card sizes designed for the original 9-inch Mac screen and for larger external monitors.GameplayForty Thieves is a classic two-deck solitaire variant in which the player attempts to build all 104 cards onto eight foundation piles. The Macintosh implementation packages this notoriously difficult patience game with point-and-click card movement and the visual flourishes typical of early Mac shareware.Author and originThe game was distributed by Eric Snider, with this Info-Mac upload (version 2.1, July 1992) submitted by Daniel K. Appelquist of Carnegie Mellon University. The author's own description self-deprecatingly notes its "spectacular graphics (ahem)" alongside its color and small-screen support.System requirementsPer Macintosh Garden, Forty Thieves runs on 68k Macintoshes from System 1 through System 5 and is also compatible with Mac OS 9. It works in modern emulators such as Mini vMac, Basilisk II, and SheepShaver.VersionsThe Macintosh Garden listing tracks four releases of the title: 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, and 2.1.2. The Info-Mac archive copy (forty-thieves-21.hqx) corresponds to the 2.1 release dated 24 July 1992.
