Hey there folks, on the phone with my fantabulous mother - and she just said "I wish I could find that game. That one with the monkeys. Where you had a business, and you sold bananas. And the monkey was in a suit..."
*She also adds the bananas were called "nanas" and you had to go to "The little houses which were the suppliers"
Honestly, I have no clue what this game is. Sounds like a simulation game. I thought it was that old black and white pixelated game from Mac - but I sure as HEY can't remember what game that is. But I feel like someone on here might know what it is. So if anyone knows about this magical monkey mac pixel game can someone give me the 411? Thank you!
*Was my grandmother's Mac - and we played it ~92-93. The disks were stored in a little white clamshell, and we think maybe it could have been shareware. No sure though. Ho-no!
*Down the rabbit hole I found it's from a Macintosh 128K, still trying to find it.
*The saga continues. My mother and I searched for a large quantity of time before we realized it was more than likely shareware and in turn might be so obscure that it might be too difficult to find. But I did find two things. Internet Archives has various [vintage mac](https://archive.org/search?query=Vintage Apple Macintosh Shareware Games ) games all alphabetized. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything "banana, "nana," or "monkey" related in there. (Well actually Monkey solitaire and one other game, but neither were the ones). I also found another pretty cool site with lists of games. Which I might paw through, cause I love to make my mama happy. So eh! If anyone has any idea what this might be - feel free to toss it my way, even in a message. Thank you!
I thought Germany was huge on developing cars? Maybe I am just a fool. Also I was thinking about in the past, Mexico for sure is a major car manufacturer nowadays. And...I just realized you're talking Bugs. I liked those Rabbits. I wish as a whole America had more economical, small-form, simple cars. All of the cars here look like shitty space-ships and they're way too big and I am not sure how these "luxury cars" ever feel like any kind of luxury. Because everything feels cheap, probably because it is.
They were just massively popular in Mexico due to their longevity and low cost and that's why they continued production in Mexico for so long. I think those models are actually considered among the best Beetles produced because of their modern safety features.
I guess no one really wanted anymore them in Germany and by that time, VW had already released the New Beetle (which was popular for some reason).
I fully agree with you, though. I'd personally love to have something like an old Civic or Beetle, you just don't really need more (unless you frequently travel long distances).
