[comp.sys.mac.games] Color games for IIsi?

kvc@thor.claremont.edu (Kevin V. Carosso) (11/20/90)

I've got a new IIsi.  It's rather disappointing the number of games that
don't seem to take advantage of color on a Mac II.  Can someone post a
list of games that support color?

Ones I know:

	Crystal Quest
	Armor Alley
	Welltris        (new version req'd for IIsi and IIci)

Also, where can I get SimEarth?  I see SimCity advertised by all the mail
orders, but not SimEarth.  And what's the difference between SimCity
Supreme ($49) and SimCity ($29)?

Thanks much,

There's Solarian, though it won't work on the new 12" Apple Color
monitors (it needs a 640x480 monitor).  Plus it has the advantage of
being shareware, so if you don't like it you don't have to pay.

But it's among the best arcade games for the Mac at this point.  It's
sort of an updating of Galaxians and features gorgeous full color
animation.  You should be able to get a copy from the major services,
including America Online.
