Was there any decent 68k Macintosh games the Amiga never got?

gurth · 18 January 2015, 17:21

Prince of Persia originated from the Mac I believe.

EDIT - Sorry I misread the original post, my mistake.

IFW · 18 January 2015, 17:35

How about C64 instead...?

lordofchaos · 18 January 2015, 17:50

Alone In The Dark. I remember trying to run it with a MAC emulator, didn't have much luck or any idea how.

Edit: Oh, thought it was MAC only, MS-DOS first..

leathered · 18 January 2015, 18:13

A friend of mine had Dark Castle- pretty sure that was 68k

Galahad/FLT · 18 January 2015, 18:41

Only interested in 68000 based conversions, my experience of 6502 is nil.

so, alone in the dark sounds interesting, cant find a 68000 version of it so far.

Settlers 2. Would be nice to be able to play this without having to setup mac emulation.

Support that!

Also, (not really exclusive one), SimCity 2000, 'cause the AGA Version sucks lot.

I would like to have Lost in Time for PC -Cocktel Vision 1993, re-released by Sierra 1995-.

jbenam · 18 January 2015, 20:51

Prince of Persia 2 is an awesome game, I vote for that as well

Steve · 18 January 2015, 21:32

What about Marathon by Bungie?

Cylon · 18 January 2015, 21:55

What about this (completely unrelated) stuff?

Sorry for OT.

To save it:
X-Wing? Never seen on Amiga.
I also found a thread on Ars:http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=1000714 mentioning Dark Castle, never heard of it, anyway.

dlfrsilver · 18 January 2015, 22:00

Dark Castle exists already on Amiga

Consider my interest.....interested. i reckon with judicious programming, the Amiga could do this in its sleep.

Music however is bloody awful

dlfrsilver · 18 January 2015, 22:50

we could ask to adrdesign to convert the music ?

Do it! You know you want to.

rare_j · 19 January 2015, 00:57

Settlers II is the one everybody wants!

commodorejohn · 19 January 2015, 01:33

The only problem with most Mac games is that you'd need an Amiga with a proper high-resolution display to run them, or at least an OCS Amiga in interlaced mode - there never was a Mac with a display smaller than 512x342, and color games were almost all 640x480. That said, a couple that I remember from my childhood are The Oregon Trail and Spin Doctor.

Pathways into Darkness by Bungie. It's a very atmospheric raycaster requiring player engagement. Minotaur is an earlier game of theirs, simple tile based fantasy stuff. They also did a topdown tank game early on.
