Any good turn-based strategy games out there? I find those easiest to play on plane flights where you have limited room to move about.
Not really interested in Civ III -- played it enough on the PC. It somehow didn't have the magic of Civ II.
But I love games in that vein... Alpha Centauri, Empire, Civ II, Galactic Civilizations, etc.
I'd love to find Alpha Centauri. Anyone have a copy they'd like to sell, or to trade for a recent PC game?

Thanks for the tip there, arclonus. That was one that I never got around to playing on the PC.
Any idea if it works on Panther?

HOMM3 was pretty cool too. Hotseat games is a really cool way to spend an evening with your mate.

Just won a copy of HOMM3 on eBay. Hope it works on Panther.
This is my first Mac since 1994, so this is all new to me... How compatible are old OS 9 games with Panther?

Panther can run OS9 in it's own memory space. You essentially have OS9 and Panther running at the same time. Some OS9 applicatons however will not run in this mode. I still play Close Combat ABRF on mine.

If a group of mimes are miming a forest and one falls down, does he make a sound?

I love Close Combat II. Why oh why oh why did Atomic not produce the rest of the series for the Mac ? I really hope Aspyr or someone similar works on a port.
I still play Close Combat, in good old classic mode - it's the only thing that I use Classic for now. If there are any similar games I'd really like to hear about them

Well, as I said in the other thread. I just ran Monkey Island 1 from 1991. It requires 256 colors and 640x480 res. Worked like a charm in classic with Mac OS X 10.3.1 on my 17" PowerBook.
Sidenote: I just bought the PC version of Monkey Island 3 and it runs great (with some visual bugs) in ScummVM.

Europa Universalis and Hearts of Iron. Both very Civ-like games but with more combat and historical empire play.

Those cows won't know what hit 'em. They won't know what hit them even after it hits them, because they're cows.
