Players shoot a ray into the edge of a black box in order to deduce the location of atoms hidden within. It's simplicity does not diminish its playability.</p> <p>This particular program owes some of it's graphic appeal to the 1978 American release of Parker Brothers' version of the board game. It's unfortunate that a color version of this computer game has not turned up, as the board game was an aesthetic slice of 1970s design.</p> <p><a href="http://macintoshgarden.org/games/mystery-box" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://macintoshgarden.org/games/mystery-box#comments Board Game 1986 Keith Lambert Sun, 27 Feb 2011 23:51:26 +0000 emimac 4141 at http://macintoshgarden.org http://macintoshgarden.org/games/think-ahead <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_screenshot" width="524" height="368" alt="Game screenshot" src="http://macintoshgarden.org/sites/macintoshgarden.org/files/screenshots/thinkahead_0.jpg?1318883122" /><p>"A computer game to Tweek your mind".</p> <p>For anyone, who would like to run the game on recent Macs: <a href="http://iskub.sippan.se/thinkaheadx/" title="http://iskub.sippan.se/thinkaheadx/">http://iskub.sippan.se/thinkaheadx/</a></p> http://macintoshgarden.org/games/think-ahead#comments Strategy 1985 Keith Lambert Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:08:49 +0000 Carl 1839 at http://macintoshgarden.org
