Good day! I'm looking to enter some much older realms and stomping grounds that were available for the early Macintosh. I have a few of the older titles in my library already and I could be mistaken, but I'm not seeing the Mac versions being available here. Earlier Might and Magic, Wizardry, and quite a few other titles that were available during the late 80s and early 90s.

I might be mistaken, and, please, correct me, if so, but I'm vaguely remembering the earlier Macintosh versions for many of these older titles having slightly better graphics (more pixels basically?) than other versions. Am I missing anything here where these versions are being made available? I'm aware of Windows and DOS emulators that are available for the Macintosh, but I'm specifically wondering about versions that were made for the Macintosh. Outside of having fewer gaming titles being made for the early Macintosh (and, thus, likely receiving less mod support) were the Macintosh versions of most of the earlier titles inferior in any ways?

Also, relating to the early Macintosh (I think, at least), I've been trying to track down two titles that were available in the early 90s. One was a top down dungeon crawler, very similar to The Dungeon of Doom and sequel, that had a system of saving various characters and making loot transferable that was similar to how the "Inns" worked in the early Might and Magic and Wizardry series. The other was a very early 3d (I think) RPG where the characters could start out in a location that was just south and below a small hill with a ruins that had a couple of broken towers within. Skeletons and gnolls were in the ruins. Just to the east and slightly below the ruins was a hidden dungeon, with at least floors, that had one of the main bosses at the end of it. Any help in tracking these two down would be greatly appreciated.

If you are asking about missing mac versions for some games, I believe gog can only sell the versions they are allowed to by the ones who hold the rights to the games.

Not sure, I understand your post correctly.

If you're asking where to find MAC versions to certain games (in cases, where these are available):
you can find them under the drop-down-menu on the left side of your game shelf [System].
(see attachment)

And if your post is meant as a question: " why aren't more Mac (exclusive?) games here on GOG?":

For the umpteenth time:
GOG can't offer/sell games (no matter the system), which the right holders don't allow them to offer/sell.

And with games this old, it's not that easy for GOG, to get in contact with those.

Many of the original right holders may have ceased to exist a long time ago.
Their possible legal successors, may have no clue, that they own the rights to these games.

With some games (games that were available for DOS or Win and Mac in the past), there might exist different right holders/license holders for the different versions (same goes for different language versions, btw) - and to release both (or more) versions, you'd need to reach an agreement with both (or more) right holders.

Edit: in regard to your game search

And no, GOG probably won't go scavenging for 68k/Power releases. Because those would require ROM.

Thank you for the replies. Most of the titles that were available for the Mac that I was wondering about were old enough that they were in black and white. I'm guessing that those versions (of those titles and for the Mac versions themselves) wouldn't be supported here.

Unfortunately GOG only sells DOS versions of old games in almost all cases, and if the game was multi-platform they're also almost always the worst version (or at least not the best).

Yeah, sorry. Apple has been incredibly protective of the Macintosh Kernel that would be required to (*legally*) run the games. That and emulators like Balisk II, Sheepshaver, vMac, and PearPC; owing rather neatly to the requirement of copywrit materials that for some inexplicable reason that Apple has never seen fit to preserve, release, or otherwise share the source of, those projects by and large have stalled.

Even though you can find Apple ][ emulators on the web, you still have to provide the disk images/files which again, still locked firmly in Apple's vaults (*legally speaking*).

However, with it being over 30 years since Apple Prodos was released, one has to assume that the patents are expiring or have expired, so a cleanroom reverse engineering is probably on the cards.

System 1 is 40 this year. If Apple had a single altruistic bone in their body, they'd do as Microsoft has done and open source System 1-4, and all operating systems previous to it of which was directly an Apple creation.

Securing distribution rights is literally GOG’s first and foremost job.

Sure...what did I say, that contradicts that?
And did you read the rest of my post, too - or did you stop at that sentence?
