There seems to be a select group of 68k Mac games that are mentioned when it comes to running software under emulation with Shapeshifter/Fusion/Basillisk that doesnt exist for the Amiga. Warcraft1/2, Marathon, Settlers2, Dark Forces, Alone In The Dark 1/2/3 and a few others being the main suspects. While browsing through the MacGarden website however I was surprised to find there's actually a significant commercial game base for 68k Macs. It received quite a few fmv style game ports from the 3do. It also has a ports of Super Wing Commander (essentially enhanced version of WC1, but using a new engine and some WC3 assets), Rebel Assault 1&2, Actua Soccer (3d texture mapped soccer game) and a whole lot more.Now firstly Im interested to hear what games people have tried under Mac emulation? Other than the handful of games I mentioned you dont hear a lot about mac gaming on the Amiga.Secondly it's kind of interesting to see more "advanced" games than what the amiga typically received on a 68k system. While the Amiga did get a lot of good games they were typically, with a handful of exceptions, quite "retro" style, resembling 16bit console games.Running some of this Mac stuff on my a1200 is quite cool, but also sort of makes me feel shortchanged. Clearly a fast '030 and upwards (especially '040 and '060) with some fast RAM is capable of a lot more than we typically got.
