Through the Looking Glass is an excellent early Mac game.It's like chess in real time.
I also love Daleks.
There was a great Mac gaming scene in the eighties and early ninties, before it turned to ports from PC, then dried up.

I bought a Mac just like it OP's pic a few months ago at a surplus auction for $10. I've since upgraded the RAM from 2MB to 4MB (the maximum) and replaced the ailing, original 20MB SCSI drive with a 250MB unit and an external SCSI Zip drive. Currently running System 6.0.8.

I've played all the marathon games, they were always fun to me but I've since gone to DooM now and play community projects for that.

Did you ever try marathon mods? I got Aleph One and went through heaps of them, I really liked Marathon Rubicon.

Scully-era Apple tried to compete with PCs by copying them and trying to be all things to all people. Gaming, education, professional use, etc. They had way too many models in production and confused the fucking hell out of everyone.

After Jobs returned, he put an end to this practice as it didn't conform to his vision of what Apple should be, and more practically, they were stretching their resources too thin.

Avara.

In ninth grade, I was witness to the biggest fistfight I have ever seen with my own two eyes, and I was at the Stanley Cup riots last year. Two of the jocks decided they were going to slum it at lunch hour with us nerds and play games. We all teamed up to kill these guys who used to pick on us mercilessly in the halls. We destroyed these poor guys, who then started pushing one kid around, that kid's friends jumped in, and soon fists were flying, the fire alarm went off, the teacher was screaming and the police showed up. Probably the coolest thing I've ever seen.

>Some of those scenarios were surprisingly well-written, as I recall.

Very well, Tim Phillips ones are the best (and most common). But the ''sword lands'' ones kicked ass too.

I loved how the combat scaled in the game, you always appreciated your own power but the threat grew to match it without nullifying your abilities. You know how when you read a good book you see the action and not the words? Like in your minds eye?

That's how Realmz was for me, it had graphics and all but also described things really well. Great game.

The IIGS had the brother processor to the SNES. It had a 65C816 which the Ricoh 5A22 was based on and basically had a few changes.

Controller port interface circuits, including serial access to controller data
An 8-bit parallel I/O port, which was mostly unused in the SNES
Circuitry for generating Non-maskable interrupts on V-blank
Circuitry for generating IRQ interrupts on calculated screen positions
A DMA unit, supporting two primary modes:
General DMA, for block transfers at a rate of 2.68MB/s
H-blank DMA, for transferring small data sets at the end of each scanline outside of the active display period
Multiplication and division registers
Two separate address busses driving the 8-bit data bus: a 24-bit "Bus A" for general access, and an 8-bit "Bus B" mainly for APU and PPU registers

The IIGS also had transwarp to bump the speed as well. Also it was default 2.8Mhz and that meant it operated close to a 5.5Mhz Mac. Transwarps put it up 8Mhz and some could get up to 18.75Mhz.
They also had ZipGS that could boost speed.

It was a fairly decent machine as far as processing goes.

From a 1984 interview with Steve Wozniak:

"What do you think of the new 65816? Is Apple planning to build anything around it?"

"It's a quite nice CPU in a number of ways. For one thing, it can be clocked as high as 20Mhz. The 68000 can't do that."

Emphasis on "can be clocked as high as 20Mhz". Apple of course intentionally crippled the IIgs so as to not impinge on the Mac, since in most regards it was a superior machine (Macs in 1986 didn't yet have color or expansion slots). Accelerator boards to boost them up to 16Mhz were not uncommon.

Please tell me someone else in this thread has played the Ray's Maze trilogy. A Mess O' Trouble is, without exaggeration or nostalgia goggles, one of the best adventure games I have ever played.

I had a Woz edition //gs, and Wings of Fury was one of my two first games for it. Playing it at in 2.6 MHz was indeed a ton of fun.

I had the Apple joystick too. Couldn't use it with IIe games at 2.6 MHz, though. When centered, It would register as some extreme diagonal instead.

I actually have the Oxyd book. Rather than whatever sales channel they had, I ordered it through the bookstore I worked at the time. Had to import I think, took several months, and wound up being some high price. Fortunately my boss gave me a discount so it didn't cost *too* much; but all the effort for probably a few dollars profit in the end. And I lost interest in the game by that time.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 21 05:22:43 2013 No.505903 >>505108 Fairly decent. It is certainly not as engaging as the old Dungeons of Moria, but I like it. Side note: the first time I killed my adventurer by feeding him too many rations scared the crap out of me. D:

Fuck yeah, Glider. Glider 2.1 was the best; it had color graphics otherwise similar to what you posted and a very intuitive, very extensive house editor.

I seriously miss that game. Maybe the next time I visit my folks I'll dig my old Performa 575 out of the garage and take it home with me just to play Glider and Escape Velocity: Override.

The first Mac game I remember seeing was called Snack Attack. It was a pretty solid Pac-Man clone. My grandpa had it on his old computer in the mid to late '80s and I would play it when we visited. Also played a lot of Crystal Quest and, later, Civilization. Pic related; it's the awesome new color version of Crystal Quest my grandpa owned back in the day.

Yeah, Crystal Caliburn is still the best computerized pinball I've ever played. It's an arcade-perfect board with accurate physics and lots of depth.

You can download it still from LittleWing's website, I think. It still costs money, but there are cracks for it if you're a horrible cheap bastard. I had a cracked version on my last PC but I haven't bothered to re-crack it on this one since I'm actually hoping to buy it some time.

I had "Slug-Man: The Game," downloaded from the website of the creator of the comic strip Fox Trot and ostensibly made by the character Jason Fox. It was pretty funny. I later found out the game was a reskinned version of Glypha (made with permission, of course).

I remember there was an isometric Diablo-like game I used to play at school. I'm not sure if it fully qualifies as retro but it's pretty damn close, we used to play it on the iMacs at school and found the demo in the games section of the Apple site. I remember the game had like three classes. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
