Could you spare a few words and describe it?
Sure! It’s a game in which you play a man who has lost his cat. You’re able to wander around the mostly-empty city you live in and try various tricks to get him/her to appear and come home. The game takes place after work, in the evening. Sometimes, you’ll see a silhouette of a cat hiding somewhere, and you can click it and see if it’s your cat, or some other neighborhood cat.
There are other people in the neighborhood doing various things; they tend to turn up somewhat randomly but I’m sure there’s some kind of set pattern/schedule that they follow. You can interact with them, as well, setting off little cutscenes. You can also eat ramen and go to the baths, that sort of thing.
Once you do find your cat, you can try a few different things, like react with a certain emotion when calling out to the cat, and feeding it. You have to worry about your stamina at this point, and the whims of the cat. Unfortunately, I never got my cat back!

I got the cat back in like two minutes once, try harder lol (I just got really lucky)
The Macintosh Garden went down for like two weeks, and is now back up. I’m now downloading everything just in case it goes down for good. So much would be lost.

Yes! I just so happened to see a PC copy of Myth for sale at a thrift store a couple days back. Weird thing is it was beside Mac copies of Quake and UT.

Pathways began as a sequel to Bungie’s Minotaur: The Labyrinths of Crete, before the developers created an original story.
are all Bungie games sequels
@Sykel and @Infernarl and anyone else who is into mac shit
I am compiling a collection (hardfile image for use with SheepShaver/Basilisk II/Shapeshifter/SCSI2SD/etc.) of 68K-compatible (pre-PowerPC) Mac games and trying to separate the wheat from the chaff as much as possible, since these old System 6/7 versions can only address 2GB partitions at most. I’m making good headway on getting a good base of stuff but please chime in if I’m missing anything obvious from this list. which games are most worth playing the mac version of, as opposed to the DOS or Amiga or whatnot versions? thank you!
so far I’ve been stocking up on:
Bungie (Pathways into Darkness, Marathon 1-3)
EA/Bullfrog/Broderbund (Populous, Syndicate, PowerMonger, Theme Park, Shufflepuck Cafe)
Maxis (SimCity, SC2K et al)
Ambrosia Software (Escape Velocity, Harry the Handsome Executive)
MindScape (MacVenture games, Balance of Power)
SpiderWeb Software (Exile I-III)
Strategic Simulations Group (Warlords I-II)
Various classics (Labyrinth of Time, Bachman, Brickles, Solarian II, Maelstrom, Bonkheads, Spectre, Crystal Quest, Chiral, Bolo, Myst)
and yes @Sykel i am watching your mac videos again and they are all delightful…

Two 68k mac exclusive rpgs that I’m aware of:
For the Citadel review, I’m not sure of the quality of the disk images out there. It seems to be one of those games that writes to the floppy disk, and I worry that perhaps we don’t have clean images available. Some of CRPG Addict’s complaints could be due to that, but I can’t say for sure.
Anyway, I was always intrigued by these two. Citadel was advertised in Dragon Magazine back in the day and Quarterstaff is an Infocom game.

I think @shrug may have suggestions?

consider Ferazel’s Wand (The Other Ben Spees Ambrosia Game (and the one I participated in the titling of, one terrible AOL Official Macintosh Games Channel Weekend Evening Chat, 20+ years ago!)) and Avara, though I’ve no idea how viable doing anything with the latter beyond “bang through some solo levels” is, now?
Also Dark Castle, the game everyone knows about + loves.
this is top of my head maybe (maybe) more later
