I know this subject has been gone through about a billion times already (and I have already asked once but either my messages are not getting out into the net or nobody likes me :-) ) but just to quickly explain why I am asking ... I am an avid Mac fan who has been using a Mac Plus and SE/30 for the last couple of years. Because of the black and white of the screen and the fact I have Amiga at home (please - no more Amiga/Mac wars!) I have not really used the Mac for games much. I enjoy a good Infocom adventure and of course Sim City, but apart from that I know very little about Mac games. Now I am selling the Plus and the Amiga to help buy myself a colour LC and seeing as I am loosing the Amiga I would like to help myself to a few games at the same time to while away those long winter evenings. However - I immediately have a few questions about games - mainly concerning their compatibility but also (of course) their quality. I strongly object to paying out a lot of money for something which is duff. This is where you guys and gals come in! What I would like to know is. i What good colour games are available for the Mac. I know I shouldn't really insist on colour but I think it makes a lot of difference. ii What good colour games work on the LC? iii What makes them good? I know this is a kind of general question but I would just like to know briefly why people enjoy them - everyone has different tastes. Specifically I am interested in Falcon (is this anywhere as near as good as the Amiga version which I enjoyed a lot), Citadel (I belive this does work on a LC but does it use much colour), Solarian II (is there a LC version yet?). Will Dungeon master ever come out on the Mac by the way. Some body kindly mailed me a little while back to say it was on the back burner at the moment - is that permanent? I have already read so many good things about Sim Earth in this group that I have ordered that already so don't bother to mention that one. Mail me direct if you wish and I can summarise to the net what I have found out. Thanks very much in advance Ian -- ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / zobbo@tharr.uucp | Disclaimer - give me a break / / !ukc!axion!tharr!zobbo | I don't even / / axion!tharr!zobbo@uk.ac.ukc | believe this junk / /<-- tharr *free* public access to Usenet in the UK 0234 720202 --> / //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
