These games wouldn’t be a sell in 2022, but they did push some boundaries for Mac gaming and 3D development back in the day. (Again, it’s great.) And Cro-Mag Rally is a kart racer game that’s set in the ancient world, complete with “time-appropriate” karts and weapons. (It’s great, I promise.) In Nanosaur, you’re a dinosaur armed to the teeth, outrunning other dinosaurs in an effort to steal their eggs. In case you don’t have the fond memories of these titles, here’s a quick summary: Bugdom has you playing as a pill bug traversing 10 levels to save your world from an invasion of enemy ants. What happened to Bugdom, Nanosaur, and Cro-Mag Rally? I was able to play the games I wanted to play, which were usually the Mac’s two Harry Potter ports ( those soundtracks, though), but my favorite part of the G3 was the pre-installed titles: I didn’t have an N64, PlayStation, or GameCube, but I had Bugdom, Nanosaur, and Cro-Mag Rally. To the outside world it certainly wasn’t a gaming machine, but to me it was a premiere PC. I thought these titles were lost for good, but as it turns out, you can still play them. But now you can get unique, fun, classic games like Bugdom, Nanosaur, and Cro-Mag Rally. These days, the only pre-installed game you’ll find on Mac is an exciting, strategy-based war simulator pitting royal factions against one another.
