Behold. A list of Infocom titles at The Legacy. Gaze upon the excess of gaming goodies of an era gone by and weep. Ballyhoo, Infidel, Enchanter, Cuttthroat, HGTG, etc.

You cite Wing Commander as a prime example of gaming swag? Man, you should've played Origin games in the 80s. The Ultima games always came with great stuff (a Brittanian coin for V, a dark moonstone with VI, etc.).

Look up some Origin (Autoduel, Ultima series) or Infocom (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) games on The Legacy and see the great swag of yesteryear.

For some damn reason, the first game that comes to mind when I think of Apple and games is still Crisis Mountain.

Fortunately my first gaming memories of Macintosh gaming rests solely with Ultima II, which is just a tad bit better.

I liked Dark Castle, but played it more on different systems (Still have it for C64 and Genesis) than the mac, and I still think I liked Uninvited and Shadowgate better than Deja Vu.

....to post an incomplete, long forgotten URL to a site that hasn't gone ahead and added much in the way of content, when there are some truly excellent sites out there with really great and inspiring content, worked on by people who care.

Yeah, let me throw some URL where my mouth is.

And the list goes on, and on, and on.....

Will Wright with "The Sims" is a great example - he had to literally fight all the way for *seven years* just to get the game made!

Now someone will follow up informing me of what TLCPP ripped off. ;)
