Description from the author:
Haunted Mansion is a simple game of creepy sounds and surprizes. Your older children will love it as mine do. The plot is simple.....

The first known arcade emulation available publicly was the Williams Digital Arcade series from Digital Eclipse Software, released for the Macintosh in 1994. This series featured the Williams Electronics' arcade classics Joust, Defender and Robotron: 2084. In 1995, it was repackaged and expanded upon as Williams Arcade Classics for the PC.
For these games, Digital Eclipse developed an interpreter that emulated the games' arcade machines' chipset, including the Motorola 6809 central processing unit. This approach was meant to have the emulations act true to the original versions of these games, and not carry any imperfections direct ports could have introduced.
Described by the creators as "Bomberman meets Doom", Boom vigorously thrusts 80 levels directly into your cranium. You and a friend/relative/hostage can traverse 8 different areas populated with creatively devious enemies to highly memorable backing music in this classic arcade thriller.

As you progress through levels you can update various systems on your ship (to improve your engines, lasers, etc.). Also, more and varied types of enemy ship begin to swarm in on your space station - attacking you, pulling off segments of your space station, etc.

The Odyssey is a fun Macintosh-only RPG from David Larkin, a lone programmer. The game harks back to the olden days of Ultima IV, when RPGs were played from a bird's eye perspective, and offered a deceptively complex gameplay that would last for months on end.
In addition to a neat plot based on Greek myths and an intuitive interface, The Odyssey offers many cool features that are not usually seen in commercial RPGsālet alone shareware games. The game uses a unique and realistic conversation system that is reminiscent of Ultima VI, and offers a fast and furious combat system that is easy to learn, but requires strategy not unlike the Bard's Tale games to succeed. The writing is strong throughout, and the plot is captivating enough and different enough from dime-a-dozen fantasy fodder to maintain your interest.
A shareware game, the steep $25 fee for the registered version unfortunately got you nothing other than a hintbook. The shareware version for download is already a complete game, although some puzzles wil
Hellcats: Missions at Leyte Gulf is the sequel to Hellcats Over The Pacific (HotP). You are a naval pilot of the F6F "Hellcat" in one of the best early 3D rendered open-world flight simulators.
