Bot

Bot is a small Macintosh shareware game from the Classic Mac era, distributed through the same hobbyist channels that fed the Info-Mac and funet archives. Like much shareware of its time, it was authored by an independent developer and circulated as a self-contained download for System 6 and System 7 users.

Classic Mac Shareware Roots

The title belongs to the broad family of small, single-author Macintosh games that flourished in the early to mid 1990s, typically packaged as a compact application with a ReadMe and a request for a modest shareware fee.

Distribution

Copies have been preserved through community archives such as Macintosh Garden and the funet Mac mirror, where retro-computing enthusiasts continue to host the original binaries.
