I haven't tried this myself, but you should be able to download and install it from https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/aldus-pagemaker-50 https://macintoshgarden.

You can then use StuffIt Expander to unstuff the .sit and Disk Copy to mount the install images (both are in the "Utilities" folder)

Incidentally, Apple reseller resource CDs[1] also contained fully functional copies of PageMaker, licensed only for customizing Apple marketing materials, along with the assets (product photography, custom Apple internal-use fonts) required to do so. Creating period-correct marketing materials for projects like this emulator could be a fun art project. [1] https://archive.org/search.php?query=arple https://archive.org/search.php?query=arple

Welp, I can sorta get it there -- but I cant figure out how to install it after mounting: https://i.imgur.com/WRNDdjB.png https://i.imgur.com/WRNDdjB.png https://i.imgur.com/Pedlilm.png https://i.imgur.com/Pedlilm.png --- Whats really interesting to me about this, was that just ~last week or so, I was wondering what ever happened to Kai (Kai's Power Tools - Kai was the inventor of it and it was a revolutionary glimpse into the future of what 3D worlds were going to be put into the hands of the masses via PCs.)

  Once you have the disk mounted in your second screenshot, drag (all?) the 1.image files onto the Disk Copy window to mount each individual floppy, and inside "1" is a Utilities folder with a How to Install and a Aldus Installer/Utility app.

Holy hell. Thank you for that website. When I was a kid I downloaded a game called “Foodfight” from the Internet cafe. However, when I got the floppy home, I attempted to run it on my dad’s Mac but it would not launch. For the last 25 years I’ve periodically wondered about that game, if it was any good or not, and why it didn’t launch (first mystery solved, it’s written in HyperCard!). I can’t wait to tell my dad.
