"The first known arcade emulation available publicly was the Williams Digital Arcade series from Digital Eclipse Software, released for the Macintosh in 1994. This series featured the Williams Electronics' arcade classics Joust, Defender and Robotron: 2084. In 1995, it was repackaged and expanded upon as Williams Arcade Classics for the PC." --Wikipedia.org

Joust

One of three titles released for Mac as part of the Digital Arcade Collector's Series, by Digital Eclipse. They later abandoned the Mac and made a reputation emulating classic arcade games in various compilations for PCs and consoles. This is where they got their start.

The Joust application can simply be run by itself, or if you feel the need for Macromedia animation before you start your game, click on "Digital Arcade." The game itself is more reliable under different Mac OS's than the animated menu is!

Also in the series were Williams' Defender and Robotron: 2084.
