I've encoutered a major bug in Doom 3 that's keeping me from progressing. So I've taken that off the list

Many of my "backlogs" can't be easily... un-backlogged as they were for the old Mac.

You can probably play them in an emulator or VM. I have a nice 68k Mac emulation setup with a couple hundred games in it. There are also emulators for the later PPC Macs, although most of the games you listed are available on Windows anyway.

True, but not the old Hornet sims. And why buy/"find" abandonware for the PC when I actually have the real thing (albeit for the Mac)? I've actually never looked for a PPC emulator... What's out there?

...As far as X-Wing (or TIE Fighter, if I had that...) goes, the graphics were better for the Mac in most iterations of those games... I think TIE Fighter might have been upgraded at one point, though. DOS graphics are very grainy/low-res. The Mac versions were far better.

X-Wing got an anniversy addition or the like that switched the graphics to those from X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter. I don't know that TIE Fighter ever got something similar.

Bioshock
LOMAC
Supreme Commander
ARMA
Homeworld 1
Wasteland
Starshatter
Diablo II
Ghost Recon: Jungle thunder or whatever it was
Wing Commander Prophecy
Duke Nukem 2
Deadspace

I haven't beat most of these games just because I got bored. I think LOMAC is the only one that I can't beat out of difficulty.

Look up Sheepshaver. It's the main PPC emulator that people use for games.

You're right that many Mac games had much better graphics (and sound) than the DOS versions at one point, and that remained common until games started moving to Windows around 1996.

Thanks, CP5670.  :yes:

The only reason I brought up TIE Fighter is that I recall looking for it in retail stores when I was younger. I remember finding a package that had in-game shots on it with textured ships; the original DOS and Mac versions were just colored/shaded polygons. Also, it was Windoze only.  :mad:

...Funny thing, though: I remember seeing the Mac version in a Wal-Mart a long time ago...

Homeworld 1:
After getting a new PC I lost my saves, and restarting all over again is frustrating..
Warcraft III:
Last few UD missions missing, I just didn't like that de-leveling of Arthas.
Myst 3:
After a virus I lost the installation, and I can't find the installation disc... if I have enough time I'll download it somewhere :/
Myst 4:
Will play after finishing Myst 3
Section 8:
Well, basically a multiplayer game, so I didn't get to far on singleplayer
Tabula Rasa:
Listed here because I didn't get to max lvl before the servers were switched off.

Sorry to bother you again, CP5670...

What emulator would properly run Mac OS 9 under Windows? I can look into that more later myself, but seeing as you have some experience with this issue, I'll refer to you in this matter.

I don't actually know a whole lot about it. I'm more into 68k emulation and the games of that era.

Sheepshaver should run both OS 8 and 9. I think either of them will support the games you want.

Starcraft: Brood War (still need to beat campaign mode... most of my time on this game is spent in multi)

Final Fantasy VII (I'm about halfway through)

Marathon Infinity (Vidmaster's Challenge, here I come!)

Pokemon Platinum (again, about halfway through)

Also need to beat Extra stage on the following Touhou games:
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil
Imperishable Night
Subterranean Animism
Undefined Fantastic Object

Yet, it shalt not run on Windoze...  :P

There is a Windows link right on the download page. :p I know it's built on the same code base as the 68k emulator Basilisk, which works fine on Windows.
