Swap 'em Over is a colorful PowerPC puzzle game from Swedish developer Claes Jacobsson under his Sevensquare label, distributed in late-1990s shareware channels via the Info-Mac archive (game/brd/swap-em-over-15.hqx). The author pitched it as more than another puzzle clone.
Concept
The release notes describe the game as a puzzler with the things many other puzzle games lack: nice graphics, theme music, and an original mechanic rather than a rehash of a decade-old design. Specific board mechanics are not detailed in the bundled readme.
Author
Built by Claes Jacobsson at Sevensquare (sevensquare.com), reachable at the time via claes@sevensquare.com. Sevensquare produced a small line of Mac shareware in this period.
System requirements
The version 1.5 archive specifies a Power Macintosh with at least 2 MB free RAM, a display capable of 256 colors at 640x480 or larger, and roughly 1 MB of free hard drive space.
Distribution
Released as classic try-before-you-buy shareware. The Info-Mac copy mirrored here represents the 1.5 release line.
