Cool, glad you’re the real deal!
Sadly I don’t have it … long ago did.
Had on many Mac’s, including this one .. I bought the MacPortable myself, guess what 4MB static RAM cost me back then …
Got a tip for us?

I love System 7 Games! My favourites off the top of my head:
Armor Alley (my favourite and always wanted a second Mac to AppleTalk with and play with two players. Oh that would have been the BEST!)
Prince of Persia
PacMac Deluxe (first app I ever used on a computer-our LC 575, last 68K Mac made, education model)
Spectre
3D Atlas Game (so remember the trains smashing together over the bridge when you loose)
Tanks (I think that is what it is called)
Myst
Crystal Quest
Played many of the Apple demo Macintosh CD-ROM games from the early 1990's. Too many to remember the titles of.
and many, many more that I can't remember the titles of at the moment but can see them.
Love that such an old thread came back from the dead, once again. Several of these have happened lately and it is fun to see happen. Especially when people don't realize it.

Wizardry 6, old school dungeon game, without automapping, but today you have the maps on the net.

Great thread revival!
Nostalgia is best when remembered 😉
Armor Alley is more of a System 6 game 😀
But I loved it too. Good and simple fun.
And boy did I spend time in Spectre. Hours and hours were spent. I think I reached past level 100 a few times and the messages that appeared at each 10 levels became a bit funny and sarcastic "glad you like our game" and something like "you really don't go out, do you" (or something like that.
The second and third Spectre Supreme and Spectre VR were not as great anymore. Somehow either the time had passed for them, or they just evolved wrong. Shame.
Sim City 2000 was another great one. I think it its the best City building game ever.
Obviously the newer games are infinitely more advanced, but the structure and style of the game really clicked in SimCity 2000. Sim City 3000 and Sim City 4 felt fake somehow, like some trying to hard and Cities:Skylines is just traffic management.
Anyone remember a game in which you controlled a dial (like a dial from a clock) over a grid of points and there were certain points you could not touch (or you'd die) and others you had to touch to proceed? A clever little puzzler.
There was also another (called "onyx"??) in which you controlled black balls around.
I left my father an old PowerMac G4 when I moved out, he still boots it up to play Tetris Max (the one with the cow!) and Solarian and Swoop regularly. (But those are more Mac OS 8 games)
