Best (retro) game ever is now Mac OSX native!
ok, so maybe i'm getting old, maybe i'm just jaded as to the quality of games coming out these days, but i haven't found that much lately that really catches my eye.
so it was with great joy that i returned to this page to find out that my favorite game of all time has been ported to OSX.
what game am i talking about?
why none other than Star Control 2
probably one of the most fun games i ever played in my entire life, and i can now play it on my Mac any time i want. i actually bought a console just to play this game (boy do i feel stupid now!) but it was still worth it.
seriously, if you've never sat down and played this game, give it a shot. sure it's 8-bit graphics, but it's amazingly captivating, and actually has a plot and point. give it a shot and let me know what you think.
i can only imagine that those who have played this game in the past will want to download a copy for future enjoyment.

Of course, I often pass the time by playing Pac-Man.

With you all the way, except Savage is a cool new game. But I don't know the controls to star control and can't get my F*ing lander to return to the ship.

Shift key returns the lander.
Excellent. Thank you.

Well, at least Spaceward Ho! has been ported.
I still regularly (as in almost every day) play the Classic version. It's my stress-relief, vegging activity. Beats MTV.
I played those when I was quite young. I've always wished they'd update them for today. They would have been far superior to the Myst series
Ahhhh, I remember so well playing those games on the old 512k
Thats now a free download ( along with all the authors other games ). Not sure if they'll run in classic, but went fine in OS 9.
And apache strike, and black and white dark castles, my first and favourite mac games. Shame the latest colour remakes seem to have stalled.
Prince of persia, I hope that the new PoP on gamecube has the old 2d games bundled, that would be fantastic. I remember how much better the mac version of PoP was compared to my friends copy on an amber screen PC with no sound card.
Never really got into uninvited.
First game I ever finished was space quest I.
