Game screenshot

Four thousand years before the events depicted in the Star Wars movies, the political and ideological situation is not much different from what we have seen in the prequel trilogy: the Republic and the Jedi Order are fighting against two powerful Sith lords, Darth Revan and his apprentice, Darth Malak. It is said that the former was successfully defeated by the Jedi, and that Darth Malak betrayed his mentor and is planning to take on the Republic by himself. His aggression is so successful that some Jedi have decided to join his ranks.

Shadowbane was a fantasy role-playing video game (MMORPG). This is the game software but it had to be played online. The game servers finally shut down on July 1, 2009. Consequently the game can no longer be played and this page is therefore of historical relevance only. There is also a manual with over 170 pages that I am not inclined to scan, especially since no one can play the game any more.

A Mac Plus-compatible version is known to have been released, but this copy lacks the relevant data files and crashes on compact Macs. If you have a copy of this game that includes the monochrome graphics, please upload it!

The Faery Tale Adventure

Game screenshot

Three brothers must defeat a necromancer who has slain their father and stolen their village's talisman of protection. In the fairy tale tradition, they set out one at a time, beginning with the eldest. If Julian exhausts his luck and can no longer be resurrected, the player starts over with Phillip, and finally Kevin. Each begins with different stats reflecting his personality.

System requirements
System: 
System 1 - 5
System 6.x
Architecture:

Compatibility: 

The game requires color but is incompatible with Mac OS 7 and higher, locking out most emulators and all but a few Macintosh models. It is technically playable in Mini vMac emulating a Mac II, but the gameplay window is a psychedelic riot of false colors that range from ugly to unintelligible.

Castle Chaos is a turn-based fantasy adventure game where you guide one of four heroes through a chaotic castle. Your goal is to reach the treasure room in the center of the castle, grab as much gold as you dare, and make it safely to the outside. But this task is not an easy one; the castle's passageways are different every game, there are traps to catch the unwary, and a deadly horde of minions is on the prowl. As if all that weren't enough, the treasure chamber is patrolled by the evil wizardess herself.
