Lode Runner was an early early EARLY game I had in that time when we had basically 2-3 games at the very start of our Mac years at home. I'll never remember exactly but I think it was Déjà Vu from Rubicon the memory tile game (still have the original disk and had it preserved in moof by 4am and co) and possible airborne or pinball construction set.
I'm surprised by the ports from other systems. I was familiar with Lode Runner, but that one was ported to everything. Star League Baseball is a surprise for me. Star League Baseball was the best baseball game available at the time, but it's less remembered because the next year Hardball! on the C64 just blew away the competition and set a whole new standard. It even found a place in pop culture history due to The Princess Bride. But before Hardball, Star League Baseball was the top baseball game, by far.
Hardball came out for the Mac too, I did have a copy back then but unfortunately it crashed right away. I couldn't even swing the bat before it would crash! 😆 Hardball went on to have many games in the series -- I really should try and revisit that one and see what it's like! Thanks!
thanks for the video Gruz, grid wars looks almost too full on to run on a 128K Mac, i never played it but have seen you show it a few times now, might check it out :) It does look a bit like shufflepuck cafe but different at the same time :)
Does anyone remember a very simple game where you give commands to a literal apple with arms, legs, and a face? For example, you type “run” and the apple would run. Sleep, eat, etc
