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…”

*She also adds the bananas were called “nanas” and you had to go to “The little houses which were the suppliers”

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!

*Was my grandmother’s Mac - and we played it ~92-93. The disks were stored in a little white clamshell, and we think maybe it could have been shareware. No sure though. Ho-no!

*Down the rabbit hole I found it’s from a Macintosh 128K, still trying to find it.

*The saga continues. My mother and I searched for a large quantity of time before we realized it was more than likely shareware and in turn might be so obscure that it might be too difficult to find. But I did find two things. Internet Archives has various [vintage mac](https://archive.org/search?query=Vintage Apple Macintosh Shareware Games ) games all alphabetized. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything "banana, “nana,” or “monkey” related in there. (Well actually Monkey solitaire and one other game, but neither were the ones). I also found another pretty cool site with lists of games. Which I might paw through, cause I love to make my mama happy. So eh! If anyone has any idea what this might be - feel free to toss it my way, even in a message. Thank you!

      Sorry! Maybe someone else will know. I asked it for other guesses but they all seemed pretty weak. I guess check Simian Acres but they were some low quality guesses. Like “Maybe they are thinking of Lemonade Stand and just hallucinated monkeys.” Either way I’m bowing out. I never had a Mac until like 2022 so I can’t go off memory. Good luck!
