MacRetro

All your retrogames, on the Mac

Do you remember begging for a quarter to play Pacman just one more time, or playing soccer on your Commodore 64. Maybe you always played on your GameBoy on the subway. Finally there is a site for this notalgia: MacRetro. On this you can find anything for Emulating old games and arcade machines on the Apple. It is dedicated to the love of classic games and the time that games were about gameplay, and not about graphics. On all emulators you can find all emulators available for the Mac. In the virtual arcade you can play some classic games online. On the genre page (under construction) you can find your favourite shoot'em up, football game or adventure.

Point-and click adventures have to be emulated as the genre has more or less died. The main development after text-adventures like Zork and the Hithhikers-guide to the Galaxy was the development of the Script Utility for Maniac Mansion (SCUMM), by Lucasfilm games. It was the engine for famous adventures like Monkey Island and Indiana Jones.

This can be run on a modern Mac (of Palm of PC) using Scumm VM, which also allows you to access adventures like Sam and Max which never appeared on an Apple machine.
