@GewoonDaan: you can get it for the iPhone or Xbox Live now... In 1991 there was also an edition for the original Game Boy. :)

I have such issues emulating classic Mac. OSuX bytez. I am dying to play Cythera again.

MAELSTROM!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!! I remember playing Maelstrom for the first time, and I was so blown away by the graphics and smooth control. It's amazing how far games have come in such a short time. Look at a game like Starcraft 2 and imagine showing that to someone in the 80s. Their heads would fucking explode.

funny thing is macs were gaming before pcs were

[LotharMK]

I love that the says only a few PC games were released on the mac. No PC games were on the mac. That's like saying "There ar very few Xbox games my PS3 can run."

[santamish]
