excellent line up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (bolded ones are better)
 
Clan Lord.

Honorable mention to Myst, Dark Castle, Journeyman 2, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Wolfenstein 3D, World of Xeen, and pretty much every Blizzard game.
 
I really enjoyed the Escape Velocity series. That was a lot of fun, and originally only on the mac.

If we are talking about games on multiple platforms, I like the civilization series. But I'm probably forgetting other games since I don't play them often anymore.

Definitely. That'd be my number one.

Then the Journeyman Project series, notably Pegasus Prime, which NEVER EVER CAME OUT FOR WINDOWS. It's funny to watch Windows users when they find out they can't play it.

There's also Crystal Crazy. Whoa man.

What else? So many games were better on the Mac than their PC versions. Descent, You Don't Know Jack, and definitely Dark Forces. Interlaced mode FTW! And I never say "FTW."
 
oops, I forgot shuffle puck

and Microsoft flight simulator on a 512k Mac - World War I flying ace

EDIT: Oh dang, what's the name of the game with Dirk the Daring!?! I had that too, enjoyed playing it. - EDIT: Dragon's Lair
 
Gotta go with Dark Castle if we're talkin' Mac-exclusives.

Honorable mention: Apache Strike.

(Marathon never did it for me.)

c'mon people best game ever: nascar racing 2003. still have it and play it all the time.

Muat admit, superb game.

Don't play is so often nowadays, but I have played it so much.
I had the Logitech MOMO FF wheel attached to the Mac, and the Force Feedback and general feel of the driving in Nascar 2003 was excellent!

It looks very nice, and for the day, it looked brilliant.
Too bad a new more 3d-stunning-looking Nascar isn't coming.... IIRC Nascar 2009 is only for Xbox 360 an PS3. :(
 
Wow

So many great memories.

Dark Castle and Apache Strike, Strategic Conquest and Prince of Persia. RoboSport and Spectre. Another World and Patton Strikes Back. All the V for Victory games from Atomic. SimCity Classic and 2000. Diablo and Diablo II, Myth II and the WWII expansion. Original Civilization and Civ II (but not Civ CTP), original AoE and AoE II, maybe even Rise of Nations. All the Myst episodes and Dungeon Siege. And Majesty TFK.

But number 1 for me was / is Caesar III (everything Civ and AoE and SimCity wanted to be).

But then I never played StarCraft, it came out while I was too busy Myth and Myth II'ing, before jumping to Diablo II.
 
I'm a fan of RPGs, and my favourite would have to be Realmz. In terms of graphics and style though, TaskMaker/Tomb of the TaskMaker were the most impressive.

My favourite FPS for single play is split between Deus Ex and Marathon Infinity, and for network play is Unreal Tournament (the original, which let you have up to 4 teams, not just red vs blue!)

The best LAN party game was Bolo, which was way before it's time in terms of networking options and compatibility (from a Mac Plus up!)

Other highly esteemed games include Dark Castle, Spaceward Ho!, Scarab of RA, Gunshy, System's Twilight and Lord of Destruction.
 
Runescape!

:p

I would have to say, Tomb Raider Anniversary was a really good game and ran very well on Mac. But I think World of Warcraft is probably the best.

its a good one but can you play it in a intel? We need to have that as a criteria here. Greatest Mac game that you CAN STILL PLAY on a new MAC. I can think of a few but none will play on the intel's. UT99 for one.
 
there should be a separate category for intel/power pc, but also types of games: sports, action, shooter, driving, etc. for me, the best sports game: tiger woods golf.
 
Does anyone know where you can download the game that came with the 1st Gen ipod colour? The one where you shot down men from helicopters, i think it was called Parachute or Paratroopers?
 
Marathon 2 has eatin up more years of my childhood than anything else if memory serves correctly.
 
My Top 5
  1. Ghost Recon
  2. Call of Duty 2
  3. Command and Conquer
  4. Caramgeddon
  5. UT2004

Ghost Recon IMO the best game ever made. Just keeps expanding!
