The MacAttack Patch updates Roger Kemper's 1993 Tempest-style shooter MacAttack to version 1.99, the final release from New Reality Entertainment. The base game is a fast vertical shooter built exclusively for the Mac, and this patch refreshes an existing install rather than shipping the full title.
What the Patch Does
The 1.99 patch is distributed alongside the full 1.99 build on Macintosh Garden, intended for users who already own an earlier MacAttack release and want the final code without redownloading the complete game.
About the Base Game
MacAttack pits the player against waves of enemies on a vertical playfield in the spirit of Tempest and Arashi. New Reality marketed it as a way to save the Net, leaning into early-90s cyberspace iconography.
Distribution
MacAttack circulated as boxed retail, as shareware, and inside Mac game compilations. The patch belongs to the shareware update channel that kept compilation owners current with the boxed build.
