I'm working on a collection of ShareWare Mac games from the 1980s:

For ease of use, the games are all being presented as disk images that can be mounted in Mini vMac.

Oh yeah... if you want, i could scrounge up most, if not all of the Sim games. i can check what ones would work in MvM.

I'm only looking for shareware/freeware games.

And only stuff from the 80s!

If you've got some of that, do pass it along. Unless anyone gives recommendations or passes something along, I will just comb through the Macintosh Garden alphabetically...

Only from the '80s? why not include any other system 6 compatible sw?

I could find some '80s stuff im sure...

Just for fun, I guess. If I don't limit myself, there is probably a thousand pieces of software I could upload...

Aah. I would think that Mac Plus and System 6 compatible would be a little bit broader range of SW... and it might include some Sim games! I like the sim games. :P

The sim games are commercial and cannot be distributed freely. We try to keep this site free of illegal downloads (and direct links to illegal downloads).

Is it freeware/shareware?

I've been adding games alphabetically, but I will skip right down to S. Just for you!

Not sure, but I've been using it, and haven't noticed anything saying it's shareware, so I assume it's probably freeware/commercial...

Just tried it out, and it is definitely commercial software. :(

I cannot add it.

Rose: Hold on, if you're an alien, why do you sound like you're from the North?

The Doctor: Lots of planets have a North!

Rescue! is free now, and I think it dates back to the 80's. Not sure where to find it, though.

It is from 1993!!

So it doesn't make the cut. :(

But here's a link for all the people:

Now updated to include 27 classic games, including the original Daleks, which may have been the first freeware game for the Mac!

Now updated to include 33 old games and applications!

I really liked Ford Simulator II:

It is an advertisement for the hottest cars of 1989.

And I also liked this early 3D modeller a lot:

I added two new games, and one old version of an existing game!

This was because I received some game files via e-mail! Horray! Please send games or at least make requests to me via this address:
