What is Space Dudes?

Space Dudes is a simple point-and-click educational game developed by the Australian company Glowstick Interactive. You help two plucky astronauts, Retro and Starlight, explore the solar system and learn about astronomy, and play several word and memory games. The game features silly humour and fun illustrations, and is suitable for very young children. Be warned: the game interface is extremely cumbersome, and the Space bar throws you back to the main menu.

(Space Dudes was published by Glow Zone Pty Ltd but distributed through Scholastic school catalogues. This is how I acquired my copy back in mid-primary school)

Compatibility notes

The disc Toast ISO file is compressed into a single file. Extract it with Stuffit Expander or your preferred file extractor/compressor application. After extracting the ISO, open Toast and drag the Toast ISO file into the Data window and press "Mount".

The disc contains both 68K and PowerPC versions of the application. This software works in System 6 up to Mac OS 9.2.2. The disc image is a hybrid, meaning that you can also run the software on Windows 3.1 and 95 machines.

I have no experience with emulators, so I'm afraid I can't comment on whether or how well this game will run in an emulator.

Emulating this? It could probably run under: SheepShaver
