500 Supreme is a 1995 single-player adaptation of 500, the trick-taking card game that is something of a national pastime in Australia and New Zealand. Authors John McLaughlin and Jonathan O'Brien pair you with three artificially intelligent opponents and let you sit at the table any time the urge strikes.
About the game of 500
500 is a bridge-adjacent trick-taking game played with bidding, trumps, and a kitty. The Mac version follows the rules familiar to ANZ players and is a good way to learn the conventions if you have only watched from the sidelines.
The computer opponents
Three AI players fill the remaining seats so you can play a full hand without rounding up partners, with the program handling dealing, bidding, and scoring.
Presentation
500 Supreme uses a clean, classic Mac card-table interface with bitmap card art appropriate to the mid-1990s shareware scene.
Where it runs
The game targets classic Mac OS on 68k hardware and is comfortable under SheepShaver or Basilisk II for modern play.
