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.

An incredible amount of games have been written for the Commodore 64. There might have been less Arcade conversions than the Atari had, but many new productions. Lovely examples were Fort Apocalypse (Pictured), a cave helicopter game, the classic fighter IK+ and the early race game pitstop. The Netherlands were active too, with Radarsoft. The created created typical dutch games, like the anti-nuclear game Hollanditis. Dutch adventures can be found on Nostalgie8.
