Re: Game recs? Game recs!

I don't have a console, only my Mac. Which makes it hard because few games are available for Macs. Which I find weird since plenty of games are available for PC and it isn't like the past where Macs weren't common. They are very common now, so why don't they make games for them?

Mostly I like games with a lot of story to them. I tend to love games that are in fandoms I love. I finally got to play Shadows of Mordor recently and loved it. But I've played other things too.

I don't know how you feel about cheeseball 90s sci-fi, but The Journeyman Project is a game that is very near and dear to my heart. It's point-and-click, which I know isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it works well for what it is.

It had an epic remake (Pegasus Prime), and despite its cheesiness, I actually highly recommend it. Great puzzles, all revolving around time travel fuckery.

Journeyman Project 2 and 3 are both great too, but they're a massive tonal departure and you get an AI buddy that you'll either find charming or will make you want to punch a hole through your screen.

Did you ever get into Spiderweb Software? They're not really my thing anymore, but they make a ton of Mac games.

If you have access to the app store, you might want to give Pathways Into Darkness a try. It's free, but it's a pretty tough game (comparable to, say, dungeon crawlers of the time!) It is, however, pretty story-heavy for an early 90s FPS game (partly due to also including adventure game elements) and serves as a prequel of sorts to Marathon, which was Bungie's big FPS series before Halo and Destiny. Here's a guide!

You're actually luckier than me in this regard, by the way -- PID was never ported to PC so in order for me to play it I had to download an old-school Mac emulator. :(

Speaking of Marathon... All three games are available for free across all three platforms. The story in the trilogy is really in-depth and there's a 20-year cottage industry of people analyzing it.

Mind you, these are all old-school FPS games, so there's no shame in putting the difficulty on easy and referring to a guide. I also recommend going into preferences->environments->plugins and disabling anything that looks like a texture upgrade or HD pack if you don't want to wait ages for stuff to load, though this is one of those rare examples where a texture upgrade doesn't completely destroy the atmosphere of the game.
