Mille Bornes requires a 13" (640x400) or larger 8-bit color monitor. Also, it requires system 7 for the sound to work. It should work on any machine that meets the above spec's, although it has been tested only on the II and IIcx. There are a few memory leaks, so if you get "out of memory" messages, try increasing the partition.
The non-computerized version of Mille Bornes is available from Parker Brothers. Mille Bornes was first written (as far as I know) for the Macintosh by Robert Harris, and released under the name 1000 Miles. Thanks to both Parker Brothers and Robert Harris — parts of this program are based on each of their games.
Mille Bornes is shareware You may distribute it freely, as long as you do not do so for profit. If you like it, please send $10 (or whatever you think it’s worth) to

Version History:
1.0 • 4/19/92 • First distribution release.
1.1 • 5/9/92 • Fixed a null pointer bug. Distance cards now stack in separate columns. About box now goes by even faster if you hold down the mouse button. There's still a memory leak...I'm working on it.
1.2 • 6/4/92 • Fixed a bug which occasionally prevented coup-fourre's.
1.2.1 • 6/12/92 • Oops... version 1.2 was missing the randomizing code, and dealt the same hand every time. 1.2.1 is a little bit less deterministic.
