Now that I have my own SE/30 (well, several), I'll have to give those a try! Don't bother with version 1. Version 2 was an extended version with all the content from 1, and new stuff. Same minimum specs etc. | Posted by: nickpunt on 2024-03-12 15:25:55
I loved this game back in the day: Snoopy vs the Red Baron https://www.macintoshrepository.org/43231-snoopy-vs-the-red-baron
(also, anyone want to put it on a DSK format so its easy to run in vMac?) | Posted by: Daxeria on 2024-03-15 00:49:11
MacCommand is a good showcase for 128K and 512K Macs. (It won't run at all on the Plus/SE/Classic families.)
An SE/30 or Classic II can be shown off with 3D games like Hellcats, Spectre, Vette, and ZOA that would run slower if at all on a 68000.

When I was a student at university in the early 1990s, we had a lot of Pluses & SEs as well as LCs.
My standard apps & games that I ran on the compact macs then were:
a. SuperPaint 1.5
b. PageMaker 3.5
c. Word 4.0, MacWrite 5.0, MacWrite II
d. MacDraw, MacDraw II
e. Excel 2.1 & CricketGraph (I was a science student)
f. FileMaker Pro 2.1
g. Games: Tetris, Prince of Persia, NetTrek (networkable!) but, oddly enough, not Armor Alley (I prefered the colour LCs).
h. Others used Microsoft Works / ClarisWorks for everything but I never really liked them.
Civ. I is manageable on an SE with 4MB RAM but scrolling around a B&W screen is not fun. The maps are massive. Civ. I really needs a colour mac with as big a screen as it can support. An IIcx with a graphics card running 1024x768 is not at all bad. | | < 3 |
