JACK'S ATTIC
Welcome to the Attic: Your Doorway to Adventure
What's so fun about an attic? It's filled with all kinds of stuff. Like doodads and knick knacks. Treasures old and new. Surprises big and small. Even an ordinary desk is far from ordinary, when you take the time to examine all the nooks and crannies! The more you explore, the more fun you'll have. So be sure to check everything out—you won't be disappointed!
Explore The Armoire: It's More Than a Closet
It's fun to dress up Jack—and you'll find all the accessories and clothing you need to create many different outfits. Just select what you want him to wear, and click! To take it off, click on it again. But pay attention... amazing things happen when you complete an outfit. That's when the real fun begins!
Dig This: A PaleonTological Expedition
Ever wonder what it'd be like to go on an paieontologic dig? Now you can find out! An expedition has just begun and you're in charge of digging up and identifying all the fossils! (Dress Jack in safari hat and leather belt.)
To begin, use the binoculars in the Upper right hand corner of the screen to zoom in on an area. Click once to pick the binoculars up, and click the area where you want to zoom in. Once you've found the ideal spot, it's time to dig with the shovel. Click it to pick it up, and click again to start digging. Use the hammer and chisel to loosen up what you've found and then brush it clean so you can clearly see what it is.
When you've made a discovery, three stones will appear. They can help you identify what the fossil or bone represents. If you select the right stone, you'll learn more about the history of your object. Click on the "?", and you'll get to answer a question or you'll get some more information. Want to see how your fossil looked a long, long time ago? Click on the picture. And if you want to return to the dig, go back to the main screen by clicking the name on the card.
Also Includes:
- Workin' on the Railroad
- Pizza by the Numbers
- This Arcade is Sew Cool!
- The Secret of the Chimny
- The Extraordinary, Ordinary Desk
- The Mighty Pyramid Puzzle
& More!
For Windows (32-bit Systems) / Mac (Power Macintosh: OS 9 or Below) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
