Anyone down for a Macfag nostalgia thread?
If you grew up with this or something earlier, what games did you play on it?
Freeware and other bundled shit welcome. I booted up my old mac and saw all these awesome games on it like tony hawk 3, myst, and bugdom.
>what games did you play on it?
>bundled shit
yeah basically mdk and nanosaur are the only things i touched on the imac
the mac before that had mario is missing and amazon trail
found out about emulators eventually though, that was a nice thing

>mario is missing
lel, i'd love to boot that up again just for the wonky soundtrack

escape velocity
marathon
>>320152457
How was Escape Velocity? That was a little before my time but it looks fairly unique.

Stop, I'm already feeling emotions

This triggered my nostalgia up the roof last month when i first remembered Bugdom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfWb6di1jRQ

it's great. They nail the atmosphere and while it's open world so it technically doesn't end there are multiple factions you can "win" with. EV Nova is the latest* version you should be able to play it on anything and they even have a demo.
*it's still over a decade old
Nanosaur is all I remember.
>>320151134
Nanosaur was my childhood
>>320151134
I played the sims i believe, im not sure it anymore if it was on there?
>>320153709
oh my god i used to play that shit at my aunt's house
if you guys are ever looking for old mac abandonware to play/emulate, this site is really cool
http://macintoshgarden.org/games/nanosaur
i've found all a lot of my old childhood favorites that way
I remember playing these simple ass rpgs called Yipe! There were 3 of them. Decently fun.
There was this other neat game called Harry the Handsome Executive. You were a dude in an office and you moved around by scooting your swivel chair. Youd get a stapler and shaken up sodas for weapons, and eat doughnuts for health. I remember enjoying it quite a bit.
Any of you fuckers play Realmz?
>>320151134
I'm not gonna lie, late 90's/early 2000's Apple products were fucking great aesthetically.
My school had them, it had like a Stone Age racing game and one of ladybugs if I recall correctly.
>>320154202
fuck yeah it was. Aspyr ported it over like a year after release.
any of you remember this one where you had to survive on an island. had like civ graphics.
>>320153709
I played that shit on the school macs. so cool to use the cheats and fly up several miles in the air
>>320155278

>>320151134
Oh shit son. Like half of my games are Mac/PC games.
Busytown games, Math Missions, Zoombinis classic, Kid Pix Deluxe, Return of the Incredible Machines, Freddi motherfucking Fish... I'm glad I kept them.
>>320161796
nigga you played those children's entertainment games.
>>320151134
The only time I had access to a mac growing up was at school. Even then time was limited to play shit but I used to mess with Math/Word Munchers, Troggle Trouble Math, Kid Pix, Oregon Trail and probably some other shit I can't remember. Nothing particularly great.

If you don't like the thread then hide it.

>>320160469
>windows

>>320162346

>>320162602

>>320153709
Nanosaur was good shit
>that fucking kid who deleted your awesome kid pix drawing by the next time your class got to use the computer lab
>>320163976
That's why I had a 32Mb flash drive.
I was hot shit.
>>320164204
Our teachers gave each of us our own floppy disks to save all our shit on. It was kinda cool.
>in homeroom

Who /cosmic osmo/ here?
Will be dumping a few others, OS9 gaming was my childhood
>>320167243
did you play the manhole as well?
>>320167589
I only had the CD-rom "masterpiece edition," it was a remake that had sorta myst-like graphics
I tried playing the original recently on sheepshaver but it ran way too fast and you couldn't really see any of the animations or transitions
>>320167864
How is SheepSaver these days anyway?
Haven't booted it in a long-ass time
>>320168687
It can be a little finnicky on windows as far as I'm aware, but on OSX it's really stable.
I'm running it on win8 and it just crashes if I try to launch it with a disc in my drive or put one in while it's running. Also having OS9 games sitting unprotected on the windows architecture corrupts them and makes them unreadable as applications once they're in sheepshaver, so I had to mess around a lot to get that working. I ended up installing sheepshaver on OSX, downloading stuffit off macintoshgarden, compressing all my games into one big file, then bringing that back onto windows and decompressing safely inside sheepshaver.
>>320169348
Cool, I actually have an old mac os9 I use specifically to play these old games I get from MacGarden, but if I can get 'em running on Windows 8 that would be dandy. I can probably use my dad's OSX to do the compression part.
did anyone play the Nanosaur sequel?
