The Macintosh Garden is a library of Mac abandonware. The site has collected nearly 700 old games from long-gone publishers, including classics like Lode Runner, Mac Jesus and Doom. Unfortunately, no sign of Marathon -- Bungie's alien bug hunt. The screenshot shows Chuck Yeager's Air Combat.

"The interest for abandonware is increasing everyday. One reason is that the emulators keep getting better and there are quite a few great emulators that runs the MacOS. Another reason is that people realize that all these new "cool" 3D games already have been made. And usually the original is more fun to play. :)"

You'll need an old Mac, or if running OS X, an old Mac emulator like vMac.

BTW: The site is hosted by Home of the Underdogs, a repository of PC abandonware. See the Hall of Belated Fame.
