About

Turtle Dice is a 1998 shareware Yahtzee-style dice game from Greg Pierce and Turtle Productions, distributed for classic Mac OS as a compact .sit archive. It implements the familiar five-dice scoring categories without trying to expand the format, making it a quick-play title aimed at solo or pass-and-play sessions on a desk Mac.Yahtzee in miniatureMacintosh Garden describes Turtle Dice as a simple implementation of a Yahtzee-like dice game — three rolls per turn, hold-and-reroll mechanics, and a fixed slate of scoring slots, rendered with the minimal chrome typical of late-1990s Mac shareware.Author and labelThe release is credited to Greg Pierce working under the Turtle Productions name, one of many small one-author shareware shops active on the Info-Mac and Macintosh Garden circuit in the System 7 / Mac OS 9 era.System requirementsThe archive runs on System 7.0 through 7.6 and Mac OS 9, supports both 68k and PowerPC processors, and requires a 256-color display — a deliberately broad compatibility target for the time.Sibling releaseThis Macintosh Garden entry is the sibling of nid 10327, representing the same Turtle Productions title as catalogued from a separate source archive.
