100. Mac Game Resources on the Internet: M
MacPlay:
The homepage for MacPlay, the Mac division of Interplay, is at
http://www.macplay.com. It includes information and demos for MacPlay
games such as Castles: Siege & Conquest, Wolfenstein 3D, Kyrandia, and
Flashback.
Maelstrom:
The official Maelstrom FAQ is available for ftp from
ftp://ftp.AmbrosiaSW.com/pub/FAQs/ and on the web at
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/Ambrosia_FAQs/Ambrosia_FAQs.html.
Marathon:
The best source for patches, editors, hint files, homebrew levels, and
just about anything else having to do with Marathon you can imagine
(and lots of things you can't) is the Marathon HyperArchive Northwest,
maintained by Claude Errera (errera@ese.ogi.edu) at
http://www.ese.ogi.edu/pub/entertainment/marathon/. It has hundreds
of maps for both Marathon 1 and Marathon 2, several complete scenarios
for Marathon 1, the latest versions of all available editors, shapes,
and artwork, and links to most of the good Marathon pages out there.
All files are local, and can be accessed via ftp at
ftp://wmj.ese.ogi.edu/pub/mac/entertainment/marathon/.
The newsgroup alt.games.marathon is a good place to meet fellow
addicts.
Marathon Demo FAQ:
Send email to Aapo Puskala at puskala@cc.helsinki.fi with the subject
"Marathon FAQ please".
Marathon Engine FAQ:
Send email to Jeff Eaton at AFAEaton@aol.com with the subject "Engine
FAQ please". Jeff adds that a copy of the FAQ will be sent
automatically; questions about how to get past the crushing room in
Defend This! wil be ignored. :-)
Marathon HyperArchive:
The Marathon HyperArchive is a graphical interface to
ftp://ftp.amug.org. It is at
http://www.amug.org/~marathon/steve/hyper/index.html and is
maintained by Steven M. Wood (smwood@fuji.ccs.neu.edu). Amug is a
very very busy site (you're not the only one whose life has been
consumed by Marathon, you know), so you may have difficulty connecting
during peak hours.
Marathon Spoiler Guide:
The latest version of the spoiler guide can be found at
http://www.amug.org/~marathon/spoiler/ or via ftp at
ftp://www.amug.org/~marathon/spoiler/. You can also send
email to Michael K. Neylon at mneylon@engin.umich.edu with the subject
"Marathon Spoiler Guide Please".
Master of Orion:
There is an extensive MOO FAQ at
http://www.gamesdomain.co.uk/moo/moo13.html and a MOO Strategy Guide
at http://www.gamesdomain.co.uk/moo/moostr1.html.
Maxis:
Maxis's web site at http://www.maxis.com/index.html includes tech tips
and screenshots for Sim City 2000, SimTower, A-Train, SimEarth,
SimLife, and SimEverythingElse.
Microprose:
The Microprose/Spectrum Holobyte homepage is at
http://www.microprose.com/.
Myst:
Cyan has lots of information and links for Myst on their homepage at
http://www.cyan.com/.
Doug Ingram's excellent Myst Hint Page at
http://www.astro.washington.edu/ingram/myst/index.html has a
hierarchical system of hints so you only see the answers you need.
Michael Neylon's Myst Walkthru at
http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~mneylon/myst/ provides hints
rather than exact puzzle solutions. And for the truly stuck (or very
impatient), Peter MacDougall's extensive Myst Help page at
http://www.itsnet.com:80/home/lminer/myst/ includes exact solutions
and saved games (IBM PC format only, unfortunately).
