Play Classic Monochrome Macintosh Games in Your Browser or Just Look at the Lovely Screenshots

April 25, 2017 Posted by Bill Loguidice News No Comments

The Internet Archive recently updated the screenshots for their browser-based classic Macintosh software collection. Like many of the other platforms the Internet Archive plays host to, you can run this software via a clever emulation layer directly in your Web browser.

While the Macintosh never was (and arguably still isn’t) a premiere gaming platform, it nevertheless played host to a nice selection of titles. Although the early Macintosh platform was strictly monochrome – which even at the time of its 1984 unveiling was an outlier – the relatively high resolution created some beautiful, distinctive imagery. While you miss out on the vaguely blue-ish sheen of a real vintage Macintosh CRT, even if you don’t want to use the emulation functionality, the still images on the Internet Archive do a good job of demonstrating just what a good artist could do at the time within the platform’s relative strengths and limitations.
