Lobster Petting 1.5 is a tiny novelty game for the classic Mac OS in which the entire interaction model is, as advertised, petting a lobster. Submitted to Info-Mac by myee@slate.Mines.EDU, it belongs to the lineage of small, joke-shaped Mac freeware that traded depth for a single absurd gag.
The premise
The author bills the title as "the greatest Lobster Petting game of them all," promising hours of Zen discovery from the simple act of touching the on-screen lobster. The only stated hazard is the claws.
Style
Like many one-joke Mac shareware diversions of the mid-1990s, the appeal is in the deadpan presentation rather than scoring, levels, or progression.
Version
The Info-Mac archive carries version 1.5, billed in the submission as the latest update.
