Mombasa is a 1994 Macintosh strategy board game by Glenn R. Wichman, the designer better known as a co-creator of the original Rogue. The Macintosh Garden listing carries a 4.4-of-5 community rating across 12 votes, with two archived releases (v1.1 and v1.5) and contemporaneous Mac Format coverage.
Author Pedigree
Wichman's work on Rogue gave him deep roots in turn-based strategy design, and Mombasa applies that sensibility to a board-game setting on the classic Mac desktop.
System Compatibility
The 68k build runs on System 6.x through Mac OS 9 and is playable today via SheepShaver, Basilisk II or Mini vMac.
Press Coverage
Macintosh Garden mirrors a two-page Mac Format review (issue 19, pages 105-106) alongside the in-game screenshot, providing period context on how the game was received.
Releases
Two versions are archived: v1.1 and a later v1.5 update.
