Lets show off your mac collection. Do you guys have any unusual mac games out there. I started collecting mac games way back in 1997 when the PPC was starting to take off and my first mac that I did gaming on was a Powermac 7300 with the 16mb Voodo 3000 pci card!.

I have Giants... great game that I've never heard of anyone else owning :) Odd, since it got some publicity at the time.

WRONG!!!!!!!!!  Well, because I have it.  So now you've heard of someone else owning it.  Actually, I think a fair few people do.

I still want to go back and finish it. At full detail it wouldn't look half bad even by today's standards, given its kind of surreal/cartoony theme.

I think it will run on Intel Macs too. Have to try that.

Yup. That cut scene when Kabuto turns up for the first time was hilarious.  :lol:

I've got giants too. Could never get past the level after pops screams his big head off at me.
It's the level where you've got to get to the spaceship (I think that's what it is) At the top of the hill and all.

Anyway, those monster dudes just blew the snot out of me every time. I was flying around in the air all
over the place blowing holes in everything and just smoking and getting blown apart. Quite unnerving really at the time. Looking back, it's quite funny. Especially your sidekick always saying "Let's get out of here!"
Then he starts throwing a tantrum when you actually take a break from the action! Jerk! :lol:

Theres a guy on ebay still selling SOF2 for the mac (10 copies). I won/received another (SOF2) again from him since my #2 cd got a scratch. Now I have two sets of serial keys for SOF2. Wahoo !
I will do a post when I install 10.5 on my machine and test Giants. I assume it will be fine since I am PPC. This seems like an intel issue.
