Some were obviously not Mac-only games, and were eventually ported to the Mac and other systems as well.
Many other games from 1986 onwards started being developed, including classics like Dark Castle and Sim City.
Puzzle was a staple on the Mac for a whole decade, before being replaced by a different game, Jigsaw, in 1994, another puzzle game that was included as standard with System 7.5. Apple deemed it a suitable size for it to be included in the operating system, and it was shipped with the Mac when released in 1984. This game took an amazing 800 Bytes of memory. In fact the first ever game for the Mac turned out to be a little creation by Andy Hertzfeld, who created a desk accessory know as Puzzle. It was a business machine, a tool for creating, not for people to play with. I personally had fun with a Commodore 64 and a ZX Spectrum +3, and these machines at the time where quite something, even if you did have to wait for it to load while a tape played loud squeaky noises at you.Īt the start, the Apple Macintosh got the sharp end of the stick, as Apple really didn’t want its machines to be seen as a toy.
It’s when computers started becoming more interesting and fun to use, when you were eager to actually get home because the latest QBert or Dizzy game were sitting waiting for you.

A lot of people go on and on about how “great” their PS4 is or their Xbox one, and many of these people missed the start of it all! The Commodore, the Sinclair Spectrum, the Atari, etc.
