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!

*Down the rabbit hole I found it’s from a Macintosh 128K, still trying to find it.

      I was referring to the term old-timer pretty much meaning classic car in German.

      The bugs were just a bonus^^ And yes, bugs are quite cool, especially the car variety.

        Hahaha, I didn’t know! You know I know so little about cars. But I know bugs, on account of them running across my mind the other day when watching that five skits of Springfield episode of The Simpsons. There’s a guy in a bug who’s super tall and Nelson laughs at him and he hops out and humiliates him. But it reminded me of when I was younger on account of my father and his very tall friend both cramming themselves into one. Do they still make them? Last I saw them they were around…the 00s I think? An ex of mine had a lime-green one.
