I want know the best 20 macintosh games made in the last 5 to 7 years.
Ordered in how good they are. I would also like to have reviews of
these games, and whether they work in os 9, os X or both.  I looked
for a website for this info, but I could not find them ordered this
way. I would prefer if someone could find this info on a website and
telling me the address, otherwise, telling me the info would be good.

Request for Question Clarification by supermacman-ga on 05 Dec 2003 22:22 PST

I have been able to find lists of good games (of a wide variety of
genres) produced for the Macintosh in the past three (2000-2002)
years. There are about 20 games in total. They are considered to be
the best in their category (i.e. genre; best action game; best
strategy game) but they are not actually ranked.

You must keep in mind that ranking is extremely diffcult, particularly
of games that are all good.

Each game has a brief (1-5 paragraph review), plus a rating out of five.

Would this be acceptable as an answer? (Please Clarify Question to respond to this)

Thanks!

I'm really looking for a list that rates the top mac games in order of
how good they are. I'm surprised that none exists.

I wouldn't be surprised that such a list doesn't exist, as it's
remarkably difficult to compare "really good" puzzle games vs
simulator games vs action games vs strategy games.

Hi,
Some of the links I found do not detail whether they work in OS 9, OS
X or in classic mode.
