Mac Classic Ii Games

 

Classic fm

2017-3-23  Solarian II was first written in 1988–1989, and was one of the first color games for the new color Macs that came out in 1988. It ran happily for years, but Mac OS X broke it – it never ran well under Classic. We kept getting email about this, and so we ported it to Mac OS X.

Due to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), we are under heavy load of retrogamers wanting to travel back to those old and safe times. Please choose thoroughly every game you download and share the bandwidth with everyone.

Making Mac games work is quite complicated compared to DOS games. You'll have to find a Mac computer ROM to emulate a Mac computer. These ROM files are quite annoying to get, you can extract one from a working Mac, or get one for vMac here (archived), or several one with this guide at Redundant Robot. You should then follow these guides:
