NEW MAC GAMES LIST
------------------
This is the New Mac Games List, where all the latest in Macintosh
Game Software is briefly mentioned. The first part deals with all
the new and updated information, while the second part shows the
full list.
All Games fall into one or more of the following categories:
AC Arcade/Action (e.g. Oids) - shoot 'em ups. Games that don't
require deep thought, but do require very good eye-hand
coordination.
AO Add-On (e.g. SimCity Graphics Sets) - modules that require
another game to play. Usually not required to purchase, but
they can add a whole new level to many games.
CD CD-ROM game (e.g. Spaceship Warlock) - games that are on a
CD-ROM disk. Usually have extensive graphics and sound.
FR Fantasy Role Playing (e.g. Might & Magic) - games that have
characters with attributes, classes, etc. You go around,
kill monsters, get experience, go up in levels. Similar to
the Dungeons & Dragons pen and paper games.
GA Graphic Adventure (e.g. Space Quest IV) - graphic adventures
are those games in which you control the hero as he moves
around the screen, interacting with other people and objects
on the screen.
NT Networkable Game (e.g. Spectre) - a game which can be played
with other players via a network or modem.
RU HUGE Rumor (e.g. Wing Commander V for the Mac) - a rumor
even too big for us not to mention it as very wild.
SI Simulation (e.g. Hellcats) - simulations are those games
which allows you to "go inside" some sort of object, whether
an airplane, car, or even a living being. You then have
complete control of the object you're in, and it reacts to
your commands. Does not include games like Civilization or
SimCity, even though they're technically "simulations".
SP Sports (e.g. Club Racquetball) - any game that deals with a
sport or sporting activity.
ST Strategy (e.g. SimEarth) - games that require you to think
about the future, and plan your moves accordingly.
TA Text Adventure (e.g. Zork I) - games that have no or very
little graphics and rely on text, both for input and game
play descriptions.
WG War Game (e.g. Strategic Conquest) - games that deal with
war. Most of these types of games are also strategic.
[mac] = Any game that was originally programmed for the mac.
[port] = Any game that was originally programmed for another
computer platform and later moved to the mac. Does not
distinguish for quality of "port".
