I am currently setting up a Powerbook 190 for my sister to use as a gaming and paper writing machine. (Their PC sucks.) She is a huge fan of Minecraft and I was wondering what types of sandbox games are available for 68k and the classic Mac OS in general. What would you recommend in this genre?

Sandbox/Minecraft for 68k?

Maybe we should narrow this down, are we talking first person sandbox games, or construction games? Because I understand Minecraft has a lot of gameplay options.

I think she is looking for more first person, but in reality either is fine. I know it isn't a particularly large genre for this OS so I'd rather keep it wide open than narrow it too much. (She has already expressed some interest in the Cesar series (I & II) & Quest for Glory.)

Options are limited, and I doubt there is anything with a first person view, which is why Minecraft was so unique
The closest I can think of are strategy/Business sim games such as Yoot Tower or Sim City 2000. Perhaps also consider Settlers II, Civilisation II and Escape Velocity for its 'choose what you do' aspects
Edit - If it can run Avernum, that might be of interest

I like the RP elements of minecraft. Reminds me of things like Exile. Can the 190 run myst?.... i reckon so.
