Macintosh Classic is a personal computer developed by Apple in 1990. Apple developers drove for lower-cost options to build market share and increase demand; they introduced a series of low-cost machines with color graphics for small business use. The Macintosh Classic is the first machine that has the original Macintosh startup sound. A feature unique to the Classic model is its capability of booting from ROM by holding down command-option-x-o at startup. This combination was designed explicitly for Macs.
Along with that, Apple released several actions, shooter, arcade and adventure games such as Pathways into Darkness, Pararena, Bubble Trouble, SimTower, and Power Pete. Some of them were developed exclusively for Mac; some were later improved. The graphics and gameplay in each one are simple but elegant.
RAWG publishes an average score only once a game has collected
6 or more user votes. Below that it
returns 0.0 — while still returning the full vote
breakdown. So a game nobody has ever rated and a game with five
“exceptional” votes arrive looking identical.
Those suppressed scores are recomputed from the breakdown, which recovers 3 of the 10 games here that would otherwise read as unrated. The rest have no votes at all — mostly obscure, regional or unported titles. That is a real absence, not a gap in the fetch: there is nothing to retrieve.
Everything with a vote ranks in one table, because the order is weighted rather than a raw mean: a score is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 (too few ranked games here to take a local one) in proportion to how thin its evidence is, so a two-vote 5.0 settles near the middle instead of on top. Metacritic joins at half that weight where it exists — 6 of these games have one.
Ordered by a weighted score, not the raw mean: each game's own average is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 in proportion to how few votes it rests on, and Metacritic is folded in at half that weight where it exists. A 6-vote 4.67 therefore ranks below a 2,100-vote 4.45 — the raw figure is shown under each score, and sorting by raw score ignores the weighting entirely.
Bars show how the votes split —
Exceptional, Recommended, Meh, Skip.
A ~ on the raw figure marks a score recomputed from a
breakdown RAWG suppresses.
No user has rated these, so there is no score to show or recover. Ordered by release date, newest first.
