The History of Mac Games [video]

The History of Mac Games

There’s both good and bad to be found here. Good, in that a ambitious fellow named applemctom put together a rather impressive video of The History of Mac Games. Bad, in that it’s only 2 minutes and 12 seconds long. But the guy pretty much nails it, at least to the best of my memory. Mario Teaches Typing 2 isn’t mentioned, but “... one of Apple’s biggest failures ever” is. Care to hazard a guess?

The big games in the Mac pantheon are covered—Myst, Marathon, etc.—but I was happier to see games such as Maelstrom and The Syndicate get nods (the latter by company name only, however). I’d love to see Tom expand this and go into a little more detail on some of the games (the early adventure games, how Tomb Raider II pretty much saved Mac gaming, etc.), but it’s a fun watch as it is, and it’s sure to hit older Mac gamers such as me with a heavy dose of nostalgia.

How about you? Any games you think deserve to be mentioned?
