    Looking for a fun new game for your Mac OS 9 machine?
    Peter Nightingale just informed us that he has released his Angry Robots! puzzle game in time for this year's holiday season. It's shareware, so you get to test it extensively before shelling out any money.
    The game is ready for download at the official website (Classilla compatible). Grab your favorite drink and enjoy a new 2024 game on Mac OS!

    Finally a new game for 68k (and PowerPC) Macs is out! I've played the first few
    levels and love it. Reminds me a lot of "Chip's Challenge" on my dad's old Atari
    ST. I understand not everybody enjoys puzzle games but this feels so much like authentic early 1990's gaming on my IIci ... really exciting! :-)

    Wonderful! I really enjoy this kind of game style. Makes me think of
    some kind of box moving puzzle game from my youth.

    Thanks for that, have just spent an enjoyable 5 minutes with it and will
    have a proper go later. It's good to see software still being produced, I
    think I'll buy the full version to offer my encouragement!

    Do you know of any other programmers that are still releasing games for
    Classic OS?

    Yeah I installed it too and the first few levels look promising!

    Remind me to install Chip's Challenge on my TT and or falcon (if it
    works on those ;-)

    How far have you come yet? I was on Level 8, but decided that I'll be
    waiting for my physical box version before I will deep-dive into Angry
    Robots with the objective to beat it on my IIci. (yes, that's quite a
    goal ... )

    Do you know of any other programmers that are still releasing games for Classic OS?

    There's very few! There's some Interactive Fiction adventure games that
    are also compiled for the Macintosh - and some of them even released on
    floppy disk in a really nice box. Talk about mid 1980's nostalgia! But
    we're talking text-based adventures, no fancy graphics. I try to post
    about every project that I know of here in this group.

    Looking over at the release list on
    http://www.macos9lives.com/release-list, it seems there's only DeskPets
    coming up. But let's hope there's some surprise gaming projects in the
    making, lots of hobby developers prefer to finish up a project before announcing it.
