OMG i forgot about SC2000!!!! wow. my n my gf got into a SM2000 phase about 4 months ago, played it day in day out. how good is it!
Can you get SC2000 to play on intel? I tried a few months back and didn't get anywhere. Everything except OS9.2 is freely available right?
nnoo unfortunately not...
i searched and searched but found nothing. we play either via SheepSaver (os9 emulator) or via parallels (windows)
Guess, it's parallels then. Who would've thought that 7 years in the future, it would take 600 megs of ram to play SC2000
I see you've put Myth II in there, that would be my top game ever. You know the community is still alive after 10 years?

www.mariusnet.com for the playing server
My top 5 games
5. Diablo
4. Warcraft II, III
3. Marathon I, II
2. Deus Ex
1. Myth II
The Mac game with the largest impact on me was Marathon followed closely by World of Warcraft. Oh and I forgot to mention Myth.
Marathon trilogy
Fallout 2
Myth 2
Starcraft
Escape Velocity series
King's Quest 3 & V
Heroes of Might & Magic III
I can't decide....

There was an entry to the Mac Game programming contest uDevGame several years ago. It was called Tank World (2003) I think. There was one map where you could drive to either end, go into this ramp that went 180 degrees and came out on the ceiling/floor above where you just were. You could aim straight up and shoot at the other players.
Yeah it was multiplayer online enabled. I bought a RADEON 9000 to put in my G4/450 (under the desk here next to my work G5 now) to play the game better.
Another awesome game: Hollow Ground.
Also a good crop of game from Ambrosia:
Ferazel's Wand (platformer).
Deimos Rising. I got a USB gamepad clone of the PS controller to play this.
Harry the Handsome Executive.
Other games:
Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far (spent way too many hours/days playing this including an mod to make it an African campaign instead of Op. Market Garden).
And the best MMO tank game ever: Bolo

I'm going to correct myself there. SC2k was released in 1993, so that was 15 years ago...wow.
Plus I have a couple of games to add to my list:
SPACEWARD HO!
Deus Ex (how could I forget this gem?!)
Maelstrom (loved the evil laugh when you lost)
IMO, without a doubt, any one of the "Age of Empires" titles! Currently playing "The War Chiefs" & loving it. Also looking forward to "Asian Dynasties", now ordered & on its way.
Lode Runner. Best. Game. Ever. I still play it when I use my cousin's old iMac G3 at the beach house. Such a good game. Here's a link.
Ah, F/A-18 Hornet. I remember when my Dad and I got that networked between two computers. A great game for sure. Then my Mom banned it because it was causing my siblings to be "too violent" in their play.
Yep, I played this for countless hours on our Apple //e almost 20-25 years ago - great puzzle game, loved it.
