We might have seen those with very simple theme and a long number of stages to go and missions to complete which is just like that the games you played a decade before. It will be lot of fun playing such classic ventures in your Mac and start remembering those memorable days with the games.
Prince of Persia
A well built lad from Persia who can jump, dive, roll, and leap on a well decorated layers of stand. The mission is to find the missing princess and to defeat the enemies and some hidden traps on the way he moves. This is a side view game of classic 90’s and this got a great response from Mac users. Guards and dungeons will distract you and taunt your progress meanwhile you need to fight with your own image on one stage. A best selection for adventure lovers and acrobatic style in a single game.

Dark Castle and Beyond Dark Castle
This is an gorgeous black and white game which rocked like anything among the Mac users. During 1986 gamers used this application as the most appealing because of its characters and chiseled backgrounds with chunky color spot made the user more attractive on its later release. The control is like running fast and leaping down some slides and jumping all over to make the way towards Dark Castle. Even though its frustrating to hear its of complete fun those days. (Go to Dark Castle)
Myth: The Fallen Lords
Adventure lovers are more in number than some fast based racing sort of game lovers, but there is an equally number group of strategy game lovers who spend most of the time compared to other two category. Myth is one of the best Strategy fighting game which got a bigger fan base on its release. Its like conquer and commanding the enemy territory with a folk of soldiers in our side and we can also develop more stronger army each time. (Go to Myth)
Lode Runner
Would you think that this is been launched with Apple II on 1983. This got a huge response at that time as nobody is been aware about how a digital game would be and then tried to move on with it often. Lode Runner is like having simple side level mazes and to escape from those of enemies hands by drilling holes and through some default ladders. It is also a complex strategy plus action game with there by drilling some holes and smashing the enemies on the successive floor. (Go to Lode Runner)
Future Cop
Its a perfect shooting game which is the first release of its kind and it made its debut as a well planned and a big outcome. Future cop is like traveling slowly on a walking machine and you can jump or dispatch from it and start your combo action to eliminate villains. You will be shooting down their forces marching towards your head quarters and also defend the assets . (Go to Future Cop)

Person shooter gaming venture started with Unreal tournament in which the interface will be like as if you were traveling inside the game and taking down the fellow players/opponents in order to stand as the survivor at the end. This is best action game of those released on 1999 and it got a great response from the Mac users too.

Mario is a best ever adventure game that everyone would have played it once. In that order Mario is simply a funny character which crosses the mazes, jumps higher and higher, escapes from some hosts, and travels along stages to reach the trapped princess. A big creature like dragon emitting missiles and arrows is the last level villain to be taken down. During early 20th century Mario is treated as the best stress buster. (Go to Mario)

Top 10 Classic Mac Games
1. Crystal Quest (1987)
Crystal Quest is a fast-faced game in which you control a circular spaceship that shoots its way through stages. The game is completely controlled by mouse, but what really makes this one stands out are the hilarious sound effects. Passing a portal, picking up a star bonus, or shooting a blop enemy and most enemy sounds are all accompanied by funny, weird and memorable audio tones most Mac gamers will instantly recognize when hearing them.
2. Shufflepuck Café (1988)
Shufflepuck Café is probably the earliest game I played. This air hockey game / 3D Pong clone is also completely controlled by mouse and was originally developed for the Apple MacIntosh, but received many ports on other platforms later on. The game is memorable for its frantic gameplay and weird enemies (like the robot waiter on the picture below).
3. Glider PRO (1995)
Glider PRO was created by the same developers as Crystal Quest (namely Casady & Greene). In this game you control a paper plane flying through a house, while avoiding furniture and making use of hot air streams to keep floating up. The game has easy on the eye graphics, nice relaxing music and is easy to control - but is harder than you might except.
4. Power Pete (aka Mighty Mike) (1995)
Power Pete, later released as Mighty Mike, was packaged with Mac OS 7 on MacIntosh Performa models. The game was developed by Pangea Software, a company specialized in Mac games. It is a sort a Gauntlet game for kids, with funny sounds, nice graphics and easy controls, but I feel the game lacks a little depth on the long run.
5. Marathon (1994)
Marathon is a game that made Mac games mature. Bungie, that later went on to develop Halo, created an interesting and atmospheric first person shooter with many puzzle elements. The actually playing field is quite small and the enemy animations are a bit choppy by recent standards. It's a good game, but in all honesty I didn't enjoy it as much as Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, that eventually also came available for the Mac.
6. Bubble Trouble (1996)
Ambrosia Software was a shareware company that developed many high-end shareware games for the MacIntosh. Among the best of their games is Bubble Trouble (that has nothing to do with Bubble Bobble, if you were wondering). In this wonderful and colorful game you take control of a fish that has to collect diamonds by pushing through a sort of bubbles and avoiding enemies. It's very addictive and well produced and could have easily pass through for a true commercial release.
7. Hellcats over the Pacific (1991)
Hellcats over the Pacific is a very easy and accessible flight simulator, with 3D polygonal color graphics that were revolutionary for its days. The enige of this game was later also used for the more advanced F/A-18 Hornet flight simulator game.
8. Swoop (1995)
Swoop is another game by Ambrosia Software and probably the best Galaxian clone on the MacIntosh. This game has an amazing sound track, and great audio effects. It also looks very good. Again, high above shareware quality, like all of Ambrosia's shareware titles for the Mac.
9. Firefall Arcade (1993)
Firefall Arcade, also released by Pangea Software, is one of my favorite Mac games of all time - and also the best Centipede clone I ever played. The game can be controlled by mouse or keyboard, but I prefer the latter. The sound effects are great, but the best thing about Firefall Arcade is the AMAZING soundtrack. Regular levels are alternated with bonus stages, which is great. It's also a blast to try to better your own or the high scores of your friends. Along with Crystal Quest probably the Mac games I played the most.
10. Pathways into Darkness (1993)
Pathways into Darkness is the predecessor of Marathon and that game is the predecessor of the successful Halo franchise. Developer Bungie created a combination of a first person and an adventure game. The playing field is actually very small, because most the screen is used for other windows in which you have to manage your weapons and objects. Controlling the game (with keyboard for gameplay and mouse for object management) takes some time getting used to, but gets interesting in the long run.
