The greatest Mac game of all time

[iCantwait]

for me it would have to be Hellcats!!

such a sad day when my school went from macs (with hellcats, lemmings, some typing tutor with monsters) to windown 98. sigh

The marathon series was good back in the day. To bad Microsoft had to go and buy out Bungie when they were working on Halo. A-10 Attack series was fun to play. Also put a lot of hours in Civilization 2 as a kid. Unreal Tournament 2004 is also one of the greatest, and also all of Blizzard's games(except World of Warcraft) are great games.

Starcraft. Nuff said

14 years later, and still running strong.

2nd place goes to Halo.

Maybe 5 years down the road CoD 4 will become epic....god I hope not though, I am hoping Mac gaming will pick up over the next few years, and we wont have to play 5 year old games to get our kix lol.

Blizzard has been nearly the Alpha and Omega of Mac gaming, as far as I'm concerned.

I can't think of a non-Blizzard Mac game that I personally thought measured up since Myth 2 in 1998.

Dark Castle

Hellcats was great, and so was Descent, but I think I have to go way back to Lode Runner for my alltime favorite.

Never really used my Macs for games but when my iPod battery died whilst on the train I whipped out my PB and played Cave Story. And carried on playing when I got home

Mac, or Apple? If Mac, then Starcraft and Starflight. If Apple, then Wasteland and Autoduel.

Midnight Mansion. I really love it.

But I have an Xbox 360 for my more advanced gaming needs. ;-)

 

[Schtumple]

You can get games for the Mac?!?!

 

[zmttoxics]

Quake 1-3 (I think 4 had a mac version too, but 4 isn't that great).
Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 + Academy.

 

[guitarmaster18]

Hm... I dunno but I thought Call of Duty 4 was pretty good

Can they port this to the iPhone/Touch or what?

 

[n8mac]

But I only play strategy games on my comp.

[Andyt.]

The paper airplane game kicked ass.

No-one's mentioned Warcraft III! That's an excellent game.
