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.

The Spectrum allways had quite a few emulators, because of his simple construction. MacOSX has a conversion of the Free Unix Spectrum Emulator, Fuse.

There is a great new way to play old speccy games on your Mac. MySpeccy adds an online dimension, with global leaderboards and stuff. It is almost Xbox live. It works with Java emulation, but really speedy.
