The game is available from MacWarehouse, even though it's not listed.
It will run on just about any Mac (as far as I know) and adjusts its color
according to the capabilities of the system in use, up to 256 color.

I've played the game through, and it is definitely a fun game.  Easily
the best puzzle since the Fool's Errand.  It took me five weeks to solve
Fool's Errand, but only six days to solve 3 in Three.  Still, those were
six days of solid mind-bending, with break for food and sleep.  I might
also be getting used to Cliff Johnson's puzzle style.

The premise is fun.  You explore the innards of a mac with a three, who
has been kicked loose from a spreadsheet by a power surge.  The color
and animation (and the sound effects!) are fantastic, and the jokes
and puns fly furious throughout.  Worth the $$$, IMHO.

By the way, I have a demo version of the game.  If it is the Net's desire,
I can submit it for comp.binaries.mac distribution.
