Mac Classic

John Calhoun of Soft Dorothy Software has just released the source code and development tools for several of his classic games, including Glider, Glypha, and Pararena. Many more unfinished titles and ideas are also included within these packages.

These games were incredibly addictive and have become iconic classics of the vintage Mac era. The release of these resources is a goldmine if you're looking to study the inner workings of these classics, write your own game, or poke around for the nostalgia. The source code is bundled within disk images, which include the required development tools so they're ready to explore on a real system, or on a vintage Mac emulator such as Basilisk II or MiniVMac.

Glypha was also remade and released on Steam in 2023. If you'd like to re-live the action on a modern machine you can purchase a copy on Steam.
