Recent professional or homebrew games for Compact Macs?

Hi,

I am searching for games for the Macintosh 128K and/or 512K that has been released since year 2000. Especially homebrew games I am interested in. Does anyone of you know sources or titles?

Thanks!

It's the creature from 'Behind Jaggy Lines!' RUN!!!

Games created/release since 2000 for the 128K/512K and System .97 to System, 3.2? I never heard of anything on the professional level since at that time software was being pushed over the G3 processor and OS8.6(?) and OS9.0 before going over to OSX. That would be the WallStreet/Lombard/Prismo G3 PowerBooks, the fruity colored clamshell iBooks and the beige G3 desktops/towers.

On the homebrew level, I do no know but maybe some other member will.

Gryversi, my simple Reversi game, might count. In 2006 I updated it to work on Macintosh 512K.

A number of other games in my list of software have modifications dates after 2000, but I haven't tested them on a Mac 512K. They all work on a Macintosh Plus (which is a "Compact Mac" also).

Gryphel, for what system? The 128K & 512K can only go up to System 3.2/Finder 4.2. To go higher (System 4 to 7) needs a ROM Upgrade to make it a Ke Mac (like the 512Ke, e for enhanced, which is the same ROMs in the Mac Plus).

I found no game for OS 3.2. Most of them need 6.X.

Any game that would work on a Mac 128K (Skinny Mac) or a Mac 512K (Fat Mac) would be from the mid 1980s to at most 1990s.

What Mac and OS (System) do you have?

I just tested Gryversi running in the Mac 128K emulation of Mini vMac. I have something labeled System Software 0.5 (with Finder 4.1), and also a System Software 0.1 (with Finder 1.1g). Gryversi works fine in both.
