Thanks Mossy - Spin Doctor, Yoot Tower, Sim City 2000, Descent and Glider are all games that I vividly remember.
Oni's also a classic (I just played through it again). It's still my dream that M$ hadn't taken over Bungie and scaled back Oni as I reckon it's just such a cool concept for a game (whereas in hindsight, Halo's just another gun game... one that seemingly normalised the idea of using a gamepad to navigate FPS'). Meh, that's my rant.
FWIW I've been working on a game in World Builder over the last week or two (see the demo I've posted at
http://macintoshgarden.org/games/finding-d). I'm gradually getting a bit better with the graphics (have made lotsa new scenes since the demo), so will probably re-do the first few scenes which I drew while still learning the basics. Suffice to say, it's kinda fun drawing 1-bit pictures. My hope is that by the end of this, I'll have a pretty big, open world (at least 50-100 scenes) that's based on a Japanese town I used to live in. If anybody's got feedback, I'm all ears!
