Gunshy is a long-running Macintosh tile-matching game in the spirit of Mahjong solitaire, with a community of variants built on top of it. The PowerMac Gunshy edition by Zeke Faux turns the formula into an educational toy: players match tiles bearing pictures of Apple's mid-1990s product line, learning to tell a Power Mac from a PowerTower in the process.
Gameplay
Players clear the board by pairing matching tiles. The mechanic is straightforward, but variants swap in different artwork, and at least one custom set replaces the default tiles with Sarah McLachlan icons culled from publicity photos.
Variants
The Info-Mac archive carried multiple Gunshy spin-offs, including PowerMac Gunshy and Sarah M. Gunshy, distributed as freeware or "elseware" by their respective tile artists.
Requirements
PowerMac Gunshy runs on any Macintosh capable of displaying 256 colors with at least one megabyte of free RAM, making it accessible to virtually every color-capable Mac of the era.
