A history of Macintosh gaming

Aww, it seems to have eaten my message. Well, suffice it to say, this omits so much.... many classes of games are just ignored:

- Early Mac games, e.g. Infocom's last gasp, Spectrum Holobyte (Tetris, anyone?), Mindscape, etc..
- Early Mouse-based adventures, e.g.Deja Vu, Alone in the Dark, etc.
- Cliff Johnson's brilliant Mac puzzle-adventure games (e.g. Fool's Errand)
- More on the wonderful LucasArts games of the early 90s
- SimCity, anyone? (and every other Sim-game)
- CD gaming born on the Mac (e.g. The Manhole, 7th Guest, etc.)
- Original MacPlay (from Blackthorne, Flashback, Legend of Kyrandia, etc. to Fallout)
- Platforming on the Mac (e.g. Prince of Persia)
- More Bungie (Marathon, Myth, MacWorld 1999's infamous Halo demo)
- Reborn MacPlay (lots of awesome stuff, though mainly ports at this point)
- the tragedy/travesty of crappy ports: GraphSim, Aspyr, etc.
- edugames (Oregon Trail, Carmen Sandiego, etc.)

The early 90s were really the golden age of Mac gaming, although I'd have to s

If it's not complete blasphemy to say this, I am really happy with the refreshed Crystal Quest available for the Xbox 360. There's a "retro" mode with the original graphics and sounds (the only big change there is that the "end of level gasp" is toned down a bit) as well as a nicely updated version that I prefer.

I would love to still be able to play crystal quest, marathon, shufflepuck, and all the old ambrosia titles on modern macs. I'd think those guys would make some money updating them.

The Marathon Series is the apex of true mac gaming. It's still played too and is open source.

I remember Myst and Riven but on the pc, when i was young a guy from america suggested Myst to me when i was over there on a visit, could never complete them found them really hard especially Riven.

Dark Tower? Ha ha, I think you meant Dark Castle. There's a forum out there for Dark Castle fans like myself:

"The era of shitty ROM games?" What kind of accent is this? ;) But seriously: the video leaves out a lot and misrepresents some things.

Misses tons of early games, like Balance of Power, Uninvited, Airborne, etc.

Really poorly researched. It comes off more like a history of this guy's Mac games.

And not one mention of Glider? Tsk. That's as classic Mac as it gets.

Yeah, that was lame.
