A “Mac game” is a game that’s some combination of first, best, or only on the Mac. Such games are rare these days. Many of the classics required dexterity and dedication well beyond that demanded by today’s crop of mass-market video games. Here are the best of a bygone era.
The Colony
In 1988, fully four years before Wolfenstein 3D ushered in the era of the first-person shooter on the PC, Mac gamers were treated to The Colony, a first-person sci-fi adventure. Like every good Mac game, it incorporated the mouse well, using it for both movement and aiming. The texture mapping was minimal—surfaces were black, white, or gray—and you could not look up or down. But it was true 3-D with high-quality sampled audio, and it ran in real-time on an 8MHz Mac Plus. While PC gamers were ridiculing our “toy computer” with no color and a mouse, we were busy playing their future.
Dark Castle
Escape Velocity
Ambrosia Software has created many of the most beloved Mac games, but Escape Velocity stands out as its finest hour. It was a game that seemed much bigger than the small team of developers that created it—a “shareware epic,” if you will. Borrowing heavily from earlier space trading games, Escape Velocity added beautifully rendered sprites, great sound, and an open story that let the player chose any side in the galactic conflict, including none at all.
Marathon
Crystal Quest
This 2-D arcade game was Mac gaming distilled to its essence: eccentric, innovative, absurd, and addictive. For a game so simple, the core gameplay mechanic had to be perfect, and it was. Your ship had inertia, and you controlled its velocity with the mouse as you swept up crystals. At its best, Crystal Quest was a zen-like experience (the instructions warned you to “stay cool at all times” because “uncool dudes get stomped on”) punctuated by pitch-perfect and often hilarious sound effects.
Bratz: Rock Angelz is a video game based on the popularly sold commercial dolls merchandise and movie. You follow the adventures of four Bratz dolls in a bid to start their own fashion magazine. The Bratz are modelled like stereotypical teenage girls with a love for fashion, music, glamour and paparazzi.
Story
Following the firing of one of the Bratz dolls from her internship at a magazine, the four girls unite to start up their own magazine. Starting a new business venture isn’t easy and the girls must go through various hurdles to see their magazine become successful, and a force to be reckoned with. The girls eventually form a rock band which becomes successful, and they also launch a successful fashion brand.
Gameplay
You control all the four Bratz dolls throughout the game, but only one can be controlled at a time. Each girl has their own specialty, so the game switches you to the girl needed for a task. The controls are very easy and you won’t have problems all through the game.
You start the game by repairing a rundown office space and personalizing it to make it fully yours. Mission objectives consist of tasks like taking photos and checking out the latest fashion and makeup trends for your magazine.
The open world format allows you to explore four different areas. Scattered around the game world are coins that can be used to purchase various items and unlocks. You get to meet famous people and superstars in glamorous locations. You sniff around these locations for hot stories to be featured in your magazine.
You own a smartphone for performing tasks like checking coins collected, sending messages, and tracking objectives. You can change the ringtone and cover of the phone. You can design posters and T-shirts. You can also draw pictures all over the faces of the Bratz using various shades of lipsticks. You have fun experimenting with various jewelry, clothing, makeup and accessories.
You can play minigames to gain extra coins. The minigames consists of a variety of things like posing for pictures, picking up flags, picking up dropped pieces of papers etc. The coins you collect can be used to purchase clothes, music tracks, cutscenes and other things. The game’s cutscenes are numerous and lengthy.
If you are expecting the game to follow the plot of the movie, you will be disappointed. It borrows elements from the movies, but doesn’t share the same storyline as the movie.
