What's the deal with these old games, do they all run on OSX, or do they need OS9?

some will not even run in OSX classic mode.. You might need OS 9 or older. I would reccomend OS 8.6.

That website gave me a good reason to turn on my vintage LC II and play some old games. Thaks for the link!

EDIT: I tried 2 more games, and they ran fine in clasic.. I guess it just depends which one you play.

This is a great site; including such classics as Monkey Island 1+2 and Prince of Persia!
