Re: Best Mac game?

Yeah Deus Ex is great but not for OS X sad (It can be run in Classic)

Battletanks was great! 10 player blow-em-up action! We played that every recess and lunch break for almost 2 years.

Re: Best Mac game?

my favorite was the puzzle game in the applemenu from system 7. gaming pretty much went downhill after that on the mac.

I was crossed between Riven and Myst 3.  Riven was BY FAR a harder game although I really appreciated the 360 angles in Myst 3.

Currently, I'm playing Myst 4-- I was doing amazing progress and then I got stuck on a puzzle and haven't touched the game since. I'll get back into it eventually.

Re: Best Mac game?

I know why! After the EVO universe, Nova's universe and plots are just too limited. If they redid Nova with a universe 5x the size, then it would be a lot more fun! Also there is no unite the systems plot. (Rebuild the gate system, fix up trade, explore beyond ?Knox?.)

Starcraft is Mac/PC game.

Halo was a Mac game then was stolen for a number of years only to return as a crummy MS port.

Starcraft is definitely better!

Harry the Handsome Executive (Ambrosia SW) is by far the greatest game created by human hands.

Re: Best Mac game?

if you mean this halo, then i might agree with you.  If you mean the crap that MS released 3 years later, then i would call it the best wink

Avara was the biznass, and everyone knows it.  Escape Velocity (+Nova) rules as well.

The very best?
