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…”
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!
With these additional details:
Based on the additional details—black and white, very pixelated graphics, swinging from powerlines, and floating bananas—it’s likely that the game you’re thinking of is Bananarama, also known as Monkeys! on the classic Macintosh.
Bananarama was a simple black-and-white game released in the mid-1980s, where the player controlled a monkey swinging from vines or powerlines, collecting bananas. The bananas often floated in mid-air and twirled, matching the description given. The game had a very pixelated look typical of early Macintosh games.
This seems to align closely with what you’ve described, so it might be the game you’re looking for!
