SCOREBOARD (submit screens or photos until January 20th 2023 23:59 PST)
After consulting with mods and long time users, I've settled on this forum to start a recurring event (monthly based).
I'll be selecting 3 mac games and you must submit a screenshot / picture of your high score. Of course, not all games lend themselves to this friendly competition. After roughly a month, I'll select another trio.
You can only submit 3 scores PER game. We'll have none of hyperfocused spam from one player, discouraging others to participate. Knowing this, what will you do? Do a quick valiant effort as a first submission to set the bar high? Keep practicing silently so you can come in late and shatter everyone else's notion of a good score? Oh, the drama that will unfold if we get into it!
I'll try to select a interesting variety of (mostly arcade-y that don't go on forever) games across multiple eras of mac gaming, concentrating on the 68k era.
Need help running these?
If you're here, chances are slightly higher that you have a real vintage mac capable of extracting and running these games just fine from Mac Garden. However, you might not have such a useful setup, and may want to resort to emulation. That's more than fine!
Here are some good tutorials to get an emulator setup. It's a pain, but it's well worth the effort and you'll be glad for all future usage of old mac games and apps.
Here's Macintosh Librarian's tutorial on the Basilisk II emulator (great for color, Performa-type 68k machines)
Here's Classic Mac Gaming (Gruz)'s tutorial on the mini-vMac emulator (great for black and white, Mac Plus era machine)
