Other games on your fruity machine

Just out of curiousity... ToyBox, do you have an iMac? Because iMacs come with Nanosaur and Marble Blast! (I may be wrong, because there are other models from that time that had it) :

[Toybox]

Nope, it's an ibook. Well, I have an imac as well but I don't use it anymore (an old '99 purple model running Mac OS 9). I used to have Nanosaur 1 on it but no Marble Blast.

@ Toybox

My Mac predecessor was an iMac G3 in indigo. It's hard-drive was a pitiful 10GB and when I bought my first iPod my Christmas present from my Dad was some RAM So i could install OSX and run my iPod. .

And I did my Uni degree on that little 13" cutie pie so it served me well. And I got it second-hand off my department for £200 so I was very satisfied with it. . Then I sold it on eBay and got £90 for it. Yay for me.

I was gonna put up a picture of it, but I can't find any. . Sweet little baby blue, I shall remember you with fondness

But, MM has the best replay value, by far!

Yeah Scout !!

I also used to like Oxyd and PerOxyd a lot (in the old days).... never understood why it hasn't be ported (or upgraded) to OSX !!

Other games on my machine: (Although I have to admit, prior to MM I haven't been such a devoted gamer)

GooBall (one of the few 3D games that is not instantly boring)
Brave Dwarves (looks good in Demo mode....after you finished all the levels it very quickly gets boring)
CreepyMines 2 (= 3D) pretty boring....the old 2D version was much better, albeit a little bug-y)
Armado (quite cute for 3D)
Gold Miner Joe (platformer.....compared to MM it's a boring joke)

@Psychotronic:

Is

Feeding Frenzy

really good ??
I've seen it so often in MacGameFiles...and everytime - after I inspected a few screenshots - I had the feeling it's not worth downloading.... but if you tell me otherwise, I might give it a try ?!

I found it ridiculously fun. I'm a sucker for bright colors. But the demo lasts for 60 minutes, and I didn't end up purchasing the full version. I probably would have paid $10 for it, but $20 was too much.

A game I DID end up buying, and enjoying quite a lot, was Ricochet: Lost Worlds. www.ricochetlostworlds.com. It's a breakout-style game, but it's just done so well, and there's a huge number of user-created levels kicking around.

A little further upthread, Lara provided a link to the remake, called

Enigma

:

I downloaded this quite a while ago and then kind of ignored it since it wasn't really...well it just wasn't Oxyd. But I re-downloaded it this morning from Lara's link, and it looks like they've re-created ALL the Oxyd games for OSX (inside the

Levels

folder, they're all there).

It's not quite as elegant as the original, but it will do!

And thanks to Lara for the link.

The new PerOxyd is fun! I spent a few hours playing it this weekend. But I download BudRedhead this morning and I'm getting addicted to that. It's pretty much like Sonic but as that's a PC/Console game I never really played it. BudReshead is great though! And it's save points can be used again and again - wicked!

Welcome to the club, ToyBox! Seems only masterminds own iBooks!   It's my precious ibook!
