Also, if you like spooky and are not a high resolution fanatic, I highly recommend "Pathways into Darkness". This is the game that Bungee wrote before the Marathon series and I find it to be excellent. It's a first-person shooter, but there's much more story and puzzles that are integral to the game than in most such games I've played. Also, it has a really engrossing, spooky vibe, which is good because your sprite is invading an abandoned pyramid full of monsters and spooks generated by the fevered dreams of a sleeping god. Ammunition management is key, early in the game. PID will actually run well on a late 68K machine. Oh, and for fantasy combat, Diablo is fun. If you like real-time strategy/tactical games, there's always the original Warcraft, and Warcraft II, and Starcraft and Starcraft: Broodwar. Also, Age of Empires for the Mac. Turn based strategy: I'm fond of Imperialism, but it has a bug or two which will very infrequently cause it to lock up. Like maybe once in 20 games. Space based, there's Spaceward Ho! I'm also very fond of the shareware Asterax game. I contacted the author back in the 90s to update his address, and mailed him a check for it, but he never cashed it. It's an asteroids based game in which one can collect resources from the destroyed asteroids and upgrade one's ship. Oh, speaking of space based games, I adore Spaceward Ho! which is a turn based resource/galaxy conquering game. Also, don't forget Delta Tao's "Escape Velocity" which is a real-time spacecraft shooter.
