Tigers is a classic Mac shareware game distributed through the user-group and Info-Mac channels typical of its era. The compact, single-word title is in the same naming tradition as many small Mac releases of the late 1980s and 1990s, where authors packaged a focused idea into a single application or HyperCard stack.
Format
Shareware games of this style are usually delivered as a small standalone application running in a single window. They favor a tight gameplay loop over elaborate presentation, and run happily on modest classic Mac hardware.
Distribution
Tigers reached players through floppy-swap user groups, Info-Mac mirrors, and bundled shareware CD-ROMs. The shareware model asked players who liked the program to send a small fee to the author.
Mac OS Era
The title belongs to the broad classic Mac OS catalog of the System 6 through Mac OS 9 years, when independent authors filled the platform with hundreds of small games alongside the boxed commercial titles.
Running Today
It runs in a classic Mac emulator such as Mini vMac for monochrome and early color systems, or Basilisk II / SheepShaver for later System 7 through Mac OS 9 setups, with the original archive expanded into the emulated disk.
