I heart nothing
I know we all have a fave or two from the old days. What are your top 5 old school fave Mac Games? (dont necessarily have to be Mac specific but preferably ones you played on your Mac)

1) Marathon
2) Marathon - Durandal
3) Aperion
4) Glider
5) Crystal Quest

your turn!
 
Really 'old' games just pop 4 to my mind, in no particular order:

1) Marathon games
2) Lemmings games
3) Oxyd series
4) Barrack

Damn, I would really like to play Oxyd or Barrack OS X native... :(
 
Due time man, due time, all things that are worth it come back around.

And there is always Classic of course
 
Two words:

Shufflepuck Café


Glider Pro is now officially abandonware and can be downloaded in its entirety for free from the author
 
Also in no particular order
1) marathon
2) Marathon 2 / infinity
3) Myth 2
4) Monkey Island 2
5) Myst

p.s i am just finishing Myst: revelation. Works fine on my hardware (1.33 ghz). one of the ages is a bit slow, but nothing that bothers you after a few hours. the reason i write this is that some stores say a G5 is required.
 
Alone in the Dark (have played version 1, but have had problems with keyboard controls on version 2)
PegLeg (which I haven't been able to find)
Bolo
All Marathon games
Snood :)

One more....

Maelstrom. Definitely an addictive game, even now on almost every platform. :p
 
oh... nearly forgot my REALLY oldschool favorites:

1) Dark Castle
2) beyond Dark Castle
3) Ancient art of war
4) apache strike (with a trackball)
5) Scarab of Ra
 
i just realised that i've learned nearly all my english from playing games :)
And i think Myst was the Master exam, reading through all those journals ;)
 
Lots of great games listed! I saw a few that made me think "dang I forgot about that!". Makes me want to go dig thru some of my old discs and see what I can find.

Looks like Marathon 1/2/3 get top honours so far.

Keep em coming...
 
marathon games....
lemmings....(w00t)
doom...
er... thats it...

nixgeek got one of them right.
BOLO ROCKS!!!!!!!!
i spent many after school hours playing bolo with 15 others in a highschool mac lab (lc2s at that!, oh we did it in the mac plus, se, and classic labs too)
other faves were:
netrek
tron
