Samurai Mech I & II, the major Japanese-developed Mac games. Some of the developers later formed Genius Sonority (mainly the games' designer/director), and IIRC the games' fansite had an interview with a developer claiming a Western company wanted to localize these around 1992/1993...so likely Maxis (they'd already brought over Artdink's A-Train).

>>3366127
Apple did officially license System 7 out to PowerPC clone makers for a couple of years in the mid-90s, in a misguided effort to chase Microsoft in the market share game, and the cheaper clones cannibalized Apple's profitable high-end Macs much like IBM-compatible clones did the IBM PC in the 80s. When Steve Jobs came back he promptly ended the licensing program by keeping Mac OS 8 exclusive to Apple.

>>3368043
Also Apple had courted gamers around that time but Jobs pulled the plug on that as well. As I understand it, Jobs didn't necessarily hate video games as is often claimed, but he thought computer manufacturers shouldn't go out of their way to cater to this market niche and instead game developers should adapt their games around hardware, not vice versa.

>>3368069
They still had big studios like id software and Bungie giving demos onstage at MacWorld keynotes in the late 90s and early 00s.

Halo was famously supposed to be a blockbuster Mac exclusive before Bungie was assimilated into the Microsoft Borg.

That's REALLY impossible. They all have completely different dispositions of the Earth and humanity, underlying technologies, and aliens (or lack thereof, since only EV:O has true "Star Trek" style aliens)

95% of Windows users never upgrade their PCs either, especially since most everyone under 60 is now using ultraslim laptops with SSDs modeled after (i.e. ripped off from) contemporary MacBooks.

The only people who care about upgrading their PCs anymore are gamers and amateur Bitcoin miners.

For everyone else, computers have been "good enough" for the past decade to play videos, listen to music, edit photos, browse the web, play some light casual games, and write emails, documents, and spreadsheets.

The only time people feel the need to ditch their current PC is when they've been utterly infested with Windows bloatware, adware, spyware, and straight-up malware. It has nothing to do with upgradeability.

Perhaps the next major upgrade cycle with be for hardware-supported 4K video playback using H.265/HEVC compression, but that's about it.

A lot of the 90s Mac games were superior because they ran in 640x480 instead of 320x200.

I have no idea why the 320x200 resolution lived as long as it has.

>>3368179
>>3368195
This is true, and it's not (the most blatant I've ever seen) Apple shilling. Apple is also suffering from the same problem, people are waiting longer and longer to buy new computers.

This is /vr/. We all remember when an 18 month old computer was a horribly sluggish piece of garbage that didn't have a prayer of running new games, right?

>>3368179
This guy might just be shocked to realize that it was never not like that. During the early 80s, companies like Morrow and Kaypro went around pitching appliance computers with bundled software to people who simply wanted to do basic productivity and weren't interested in being l33x hax0rs.

>>3368220
To be fair this was mostly true of the 90s when computer technology moved really fast, but in the 80s things didn't move so quickly. A 1983 IBM XT with a few upgrades could run about 90% of software released for PCs up until Windows 3.x came out. Commodore were frustrated at their inability to dump the aging C64 because demand, especially in Europe, continued to be very strong in the late 80s.

My dad got a Micron 486/66 in early '95. This had DOS 6.22/WfW 3.11 and within two years or so, you couldn't find software anymore that ran on it. Everything had moved up to needing a Pentium/Windows 95. There was new software coming out for C64s and Apple IIs as late as 1990.

>>3368246
>>3368229
Actually there were plenty of computers that didn't last that long. How much Commodore PET or TRS-80 software do you think was in a typical computer store in 1988? No, technology did move fast it's just that the C64 and Apple II had a huge enough user base that their respective manufacturers had a hard time getting rid of them.

>>3368229
An IBM XT cost like $3000 and adjusted for inflation it was probably more like $5000. When you paid that much for a computer, you'd better expect to be using it a good 5-7 years.

However, EV and EVO run in the Nova engine feel different than if they're run natively. Also you can't play any of the plugins created for those two games. To do that you'll need to get basilisk.

That screenshot must be from the 1998 remaster of X-wing because the star destroyer has textures. That version also ditched the far superior dynamic midi soundtrack for just the movie soundtrack on loop.

The Mac version of X-wing ran at 640x480 both in flight and in the menus, while keeping the midi soundtrack. Making it the best possible version and it's unobtainable on a Windows machine, even with emulation (PearPC isn't fast enough).

TIE Fighter for Windows got the 640x480 gameplay resolution with the midi soundtrack version, but it still has 320x200 menus. More tolerable, also a better game.

Anyone remember a game where you could fly about the screen freely, and you had to shoot down enemies of various geometric shapes? (Not Crystal Quest.) The enemies would then explode into gems or money of some sort and you had to grab them before gravity caused them to fall off the bottom. You could then buy upgrades your weapons.

One notable characteristic of the game is it would only run in B&W. So if you were running in thousands of colors, it would give you an error dialog saying to switch to 1-bit mode.

I was trying to remember what this game was forever. had a bunch of levels and was rather interesting to play in elementary

>>3363656
Cap'n Magneto
Pyramid of Peril
Scarab of Ra
Crystal Raiders
Grid Wars
Banzai
Airborne
Ground Zero
Dark Castle (I know this isn't Mac only, but this is the ONLY platform on which this game didn't suck.)

Just about any WorldBuilder created game:
Radical Castle
Zooney
Enchanted Scepters
Spear of Destiny
Any of Ray Dunakin's titles.

Fuck, I could keep going...

This game is ridiculously hard. I like the word puzzle river, you have to do string algorithm manipulations to get the correct key.

Payback was actually an Amiga game, later badly ported to the Mac.

>>It also contains the entire Final Fantasy franchise
Pardon my ignorance, but could you explain this further please?

Math Blaster was the shit. I have the disk kicking around here somewhere. I'm tempted to load it up in a VM.

>>3374465
It's been ported to OS X and is free on the Mac App Store if you happen to be a macfag (like myself). It's literally a perfect port from the original source.

I remember using Kid Pix in my computer lab at my elementary school. This looks extremely similar to it. If I remember correctly, you could use a bomb to destroy your painting and star over. There was also a countdown you could start. And I never forgot this one effect where a voice goes "WOOOW" and a door creaks open. I haven't thought of this stuff since I was a kid... Good times.

Speaking of which, anyone else remember Otto Matic? Made by the same people. Good shit; early 2000s.

iMacs used to come with this game where you were a raptor with a jet pack and a laser pistol, and the goal was to rescue all of your eggs. It was fully 3d, probably ps1-dreamcast quality graphics.

It kinda sucked, but was good in a game-you-play-in-the-schools-computer-lab kind of way

>>3396581
Nanosaur.

My parents took away all my game CDs for a while but I could still play that because it was on the system restore CD that came with the computer.

That game's theme will never escape my memory. Great memories of my aunt bringing it over along with Sammy the Cyclebot and a couple other games, while eating Ritz crackers with bacon-flavored squeeze cheese.

>>3371176
I loved that game so much. I couldnt get very far without doing co-opt with my brother. Using points as currency with weapons, ships, and specials that really changed the game up depending on the combination was great, i never could find the most optimal for the cheap

I remember playing with my brother but occasionally one of us would lose control if we hit too many keys at once.

The ideal setup, as far as I could remember, was the fast green ship with shield upgrades and cluster shots. When we started a late level with two fully upgraded ships it would bring the game to a crawl until most of the asteroids were destroyed.

>Gridz
3-D action/strategy game wher you lay down colored pillars on a grid battlefield, and use Builders, Hackers, and Strikers to spread your territory.

>Battle-Girl
Think Geometry Wars, but older and better. You fly around and protect computer chips from being hacked by spider robots, while defeating various other ships. If too many chips get hacked, then Terminus - who is always locked up in the center of the stage - breaks free and wrecks your shit. Also had an amazing electronic soundtrack.

>Bonkheads
Original Mario Bros. clone, but has quirky characters, and bosses including a T. Rex and the Devil. It got remade for iPhone, I think, but the co-op in this used to be so much fun.

If anyone else knows of these games, I will be amazed.

An ancient Mac MMO. It was Mac only for... I believe the first decade of it's life. Started in 1998 I think.

The game stagnated though. Only two -real- classes plus a third "cool kids club" which barely does anything.

If you're looking for System 1 to 7 or so, check out Mini vMac: http://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/
You'll need a ROM to run it.
If you're looking for System 7 to Mac OS 8.5, you'll need Basilisk II: http://basilisk.cebix.net/
Also on Android. You'll need a ROM to use it and install disks. Emulates a 68k processor.
For Mac OS 8.5 to 9.0.4 use Sheepshaver: http://sheepshaver.cebix.net/
You will need a ROM and install disks. Runs SimCity 2000 flawlessly. Emulates PowerPC architecture (without MMU needed for later systems).
For Mac OS 9 to 10 or so, you could use PearPC but it's not open source and not being developed. Instead, for Mac OS 9 to 10.5, go with QEMU: http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page
This emulates PowerPC with MMU. Actively developed. If you're interested in any of this so far then jesus fuck check out http://www.emaculation.com/. We're all working hard right now to get all PowerPC versions of Mac OS to run in QEMU. I check the forums there every day.
For OS X 10.5-10.12, go with VMware Workstation with the VMware Unlocker. This will let you install Mac in a VM on Windows. If you need good graphics though, build a Hackintosh or just buy a Mac.

I remember in grade 1 there was a mac game that basically involved you playing as a dinosaur with a gun and collecting eggs. It was 3d and awesome.
There was another version where you play as a bug. What were they called?

I can confirm the PiD OS X port is legit.

you can still play the original if you want, you just need Basilisk to emulate OS 7.

Marathon
Glider PRO and Glider 4.0
Apeiron

but all those have been mentioned itt.

Any good Mac game was ported to Windows. Don't bother.
