3Tris 2.11 10/5/93 216 K A three-dimensional Tetris-like game (actually, it's MUCH better than Tetris) with superb graphics and brilliant sounds. Addicting, yet mildly simple.
Alternate source.

Altair 2.5 4/6/97 248 K Altair is a (frustrating) fun game with one objective - drop balls down a grid to form a continuous line of four. If it weren't for your opponent trying to do the same thing first, it might be easier! See how smart your Mac really is. Great graphics and gameplay. Needs 7.0 or better and 640x480.

Assassin 1.1.2 4/18/97 505 K Direct your assassin around a maze-like arena trying to get your opponents before they get you. The only problem is you have to plan your moves several steps ahead, meaning you must estimate where your opponent will be! Great fun as a network game. Simple graphics and overhead perspective
Alternate Source.

bonYx 2.01 4/9/97 825 K bonYx is a beautiful strategy game that requires strategic thinking without time pressures. The game is extremely well designed graphically and plays well. Highly recommended. Requires 640x480 or more, 3MB ram, 256 colors. Quicktime 2.0+ for optional music.
Alternate source.

Chiral 1.04 5/11/96 2121 K Webster defines Chiral as "a kind of symmetry found in atomic particles that is not superimposable on its mirror image." Ambrosia redefines this dry scientific adjective with a mind melter of a puzzle game.
Alternate source.

Enigma 1.3 7/22/96 1289 K Enigma is a professional code breaking game that will test your problem solving abilities to their fullest. You'll have to solve a series of codes to unlock the Enigma Briefcase and find out what's inside. All the while you'll have to endure savage taunts from strange little people!
Alternate source.

Ergo 1.0 4/29/97 607 K Ergo is a challenging puzzle game that presents you with a grid of colored tiles which you must make all one color. Forward thinking is required, as each tile you flip affects its surrounding tiles equally.
Alternate source.

FlipSide 1.2 10/6/96 221 K FlipSide requires you to solve some interesting sequencing puzzles.
Alternate source.

JSokoban 1.01.1 3/31/97 102 K Resembling the original Japanese game, you are a "sokoban," or warehouse keeper who must push boxes into place. Numerous levels present new challenges each time.
Alternate source.

MacChess 3.0 1/05/97 530 K Probably the strongest current Macintosh chess program: test results (included) indicate solid Master strength on currently selling Macs. If you like chess and have a Mac, you want this!
Alternate source.

MacPipes 2.2.2 5/2/97 721 K MacPipes is a game similar to Pipe Dream for windoze -- build a pipeline on the playing grid using at least the number of pieces shown in the scorebar within a time limit.
Alternate source.

Mancala 1.0 5/24/95 116 K Mancala is a logic game that is based on an old African Stone game.
Alternate source.

Per.Oxyd 4.6 3/7/96 1842 K Per.Oxyd utilizes a simple and ingenious game concept which is easy to grasp and will keep you glued to the screen for a very long time!
Alternate source.

Pyramad 1.2 1/22/97 4853 K Pyramad will fascinate you with its intriguing combination of luck and skill. Beautifully rendered authentic Egyptian graphics make this game a true work of art -- a must-have for solitaire or mahjong tile fans!
Alternate source.

Shards 1.4 10/5/96 187 K SHARDS challenges you to solve a number of geometric puzzles. Each puzzle involves a polygon that has been shattered into little pieces (shards). The idea is to reconstruct the original polygon by rotating, translating and flipping these shards. Sounds dull, but it's not.
Alternate source.

Sokoban 2.3 3/31/97 196 K Sokoban is a tough strategy game which requires you to push objects around a course and into place. Simple in premise, but challenging; well done.
Alternate source.

Squish 1.0 12/23/96 929 K Squish is a quick-thinking puzzle game where you must safely guide the hero, a rubber-gel ball with eyes, through each level to the exit by using blocks, fans, springs, teleporters, cannons and lifts to send it in the right direction.
Alternate source.

Super Memory 3.11 9/6/96 675 K Super Memory is a rehash of the old "Concentration" tile game - but with a few lumps of challenge (and audio) added.
Alternate source.

Tetris Plus 1.0 8/25/95 652 K Tetris Plus is a step above Tetris. The goal is to arrange red, green, and blue blocks of the same color horizontally or vertically, three or more in a row.
Alternate source.

Zonez 1.0 9/9/97 24 K Try to locate the hidden black dot on a grid of squares. When you click in a zone, a colored circle appears based on its relation to the dot. You have to locate the zone with the black dot in as few clicks as possible. Simple, addictive fun.
