Pong: The Next Level

mrdav — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 05:48:04 +0000

After years of game gulping cash left, right and center at the old arcade machine, Pong has returned in an all new 3D title on a personal computer. But it isn't just your simple Pong any more. Now you can play Jungle Pong, Football Pong, Ice Hockey Pong and 4 player Pong. All this plus 3D graphics. Not to mention animated Penguins. (MobyGames)

This is a Mac-only CD.

Space Tripper is a frantic side-scrolling 3D shoot-em-up. You have to battle through 14 levels divided over 4 thematic worlds, each with a different style and enemies. Each world ends with a huge boss battle. Carefully balance upgrading your two weapons, or at the end you'll be hard pressed to win (hint: focus on the blue one).

Quark 1.0

WhosIt.There — Mon, 03 Nov 2014 06:10:42 +0000

Quark is a game which is sort-of a strange mix of asteroids with collect the crystals. It looks, sounds, and plays very much like Ambrosia's Maelstrom (3.06PPC or 1.3), but the games are done by different people.

I don't have a registration code for this game and it only has a 14 day trial period. The game is so difficult that it's unlikely anyone will get past stage 1 anyway.

Frog Xing

WhosIt.There — Mon, 03 Nov 2014 05:43:57 +0000

Frog Xing is based on one of the most cherished and beloved arcade games of all time: Frogger. During the game, you guide a frog across a busy highway and a river full of mayhem to dock on the other side. Along the way you can catch bonuses to score extra points. Frog Xing has a nostalgic look to it, with a tip of the hat to the classic arcade games. With both traditional and new sound effects and a hopping music score, the gameplay is addictive and should be fun for both novices and arcade experts.

Lude Smuggler

Deckard — Sun, 19 Oct 2014 20:37:52 +0000

Lude Smuggler is a re-skin of the popular Lode Runner. Changes include a new icon and altered menus more appropriate to the lude smuggling theme.

Works perfectly in Mini vMac running System 6. Basilisk II and SheepShaver have issues with sound and the speed of the game (too slow).

The download is an 800k floppy image compressed with StuffIt 4.0.

Catch the Buzz 2.0

WhosIt.There — Sat, 11 Oct 2014 02:47:52 +0000

According to the Read Me:

Catch The Buzz is an arcade game that looks like Tetris but where the goal is entirely different: you must catch a little nasty moving beast called the Buzz."

In reality it's Tetris where you don't get any points for clearing lines. In the two "Training" modes you get points for each new piece that appears on screen. In the "Catch the Buzz" game you only get points when you trap the insect in a single square or clear the line with the insect in it.
