Fun Friday of Five Mac Games

Every Friday, Mac Games and More features five casual Mac games you might not have heard of – to take you into the weekend. Come back every week to check for new games. Click on the images to enlarge them.

Deluxe Poc MonDeluxe Poc Mon – As the name suggests, this game is sort of like Pacman, the arcade game from the 80s, but here’s the big difference: it’s much more fun. Packed with all kinds of extras like magical bonuses, duels, guns, bombs, ghosts, lasers and more, it’s everything you wanted in the original classic game. Well, now you have ‘em. Play alone or with teams of up to three players. 100 levels, extra goodies to discover, adding your own music in the game and a kids’ mode for little ones or for gamers whose Poc Mon chops aren’t up to par. Download it
Westward 3 Gold RushWestward 3 Gold Rush – Wrangle up your courage, don your chaps and choose a character from a choice of three: 1) Polly Hatchet, an experienced rancher; 2) General Amos Cutter, a calm and clever strategist; or, 3) Shawnee Longfeather, an Iroquois medicine woman. Each personality carries his/her own specific strengths and weakness, so keep this in mind when playing this western sim/strategy game. The town is flattened after a destructive tornado so rebuild the settlement from the ground up. Gold is abundant and all over for the taking, but bandits abound so watch your back and make certain the town thrives. Yeeeehaw! Download it
Mystic MineMystic Mine – Following in the footsteps of the above Western-themed game, Mystic Mine takes you under the ground. Doesn’t that sound fun? Luckily, you won’t have to experience any claustrophobia down there in the mine playing this puzzle game for Mac. Collect the required number of coins or gems and finish your missions in the limited time imposed on you. Guide your mining car (or is it called a mining cart?), making sure you switch the tracks with the spacebar to go in the direction of the treasure. Plan fast and well because you really aren’t given much time per level. This fun little puzzler for your Mac features over 200 levels and lots of bonuses. (torch, key, balloon, oiler, dynamite!) Play with up to six people on one keyboard. Download it
The ConjurerThe Conjurer – Imagine the most powerful and celebrity magician inviting the top 10 illusionists to his dark, spooky castle. Who’d fall for THAT trap? All of them, it seems. They all accept. Of course, this invitation comes with some strings. Each magician must conjure up his finest routine, the best he has ever delivered. Impressing is key and whoever performs the number one illusion or magic trick, will gain access to the greatest magician’s highly coveted secrets. The plot sounds simple but nothing is as it seems in the world of magic. It turns out that one of the competitors is out to kill the host magician. WHO is it? Obviously, someone who doesn’t want or need his secrets… Play through puzzles and magic tricks throughout this hidden objects game while discovering who the guilty party is…before it’s too late!  Download it
Kivi's UnderworldKivi’s Underworld – This RPG involves Kivi, a young Lumen warrior, leading a disastrous mining expedition, and unfolding uncharted territories to uncover a mythical (or so he thought) race of dark elves. Kivi is the lone survivor who makes it back to his home only to find that no one will believe him about the elves. He is in a fight of his life and must do so alone. He needs to recruit Lumens and fight off the elves with limited lives and powers. Download it

Fun Friday of Five Mac Games

Bud RedheadBud Redhead – Bud Redhead will pluck at the heart strings of retrogamers and gamers in general, who love jump and run, Mario-like games. Although Bud has been around for some time now, it remains to be a popular choice in the world of casual gaming. With attentive and devoted development, the game progresses beautifully and naturally through four worlds in the space-time continuum. It gets players to want more so they can play through all the absolutely huge levels. It’s one of those games that you HAVE to finish. Bud Redhead took four years to produce and the dedicated work shows. It’s one of our all time favorite games that concludes with a twist (spoiler!): a showdown shoot ‘em up style ending against the Big Boss. Download it
airport maniaPirate Poppers – Yo Scallywags! Skillfully aim and shoot same color balls from your cannon moving side to side at the bottom of the game board. As you create chain explosions, catch power ups, bonuses, precious pearls, gems, gold, goblets and other booty to fill your coveted treasure trove. In Pirate Poppers, which is a variation of Zuma and Luxor, start off as a lowly Landlubber collecting valuable trickets and jewels, then work your way up the pirate ranks to become a proud Scurvy Dog. Perhaps being called a Powder Monkey is more incentive. Is a pirate’s life for you? While the game play incorporates some luck on your side, you’ll require some skill as well. Shoot for combo chain explosions, work fast and you won’t be sent to walk the plank.
Download it
Tasty PlanetTasty Planet – Tasty Planet is another one of our favorites, and will remind some gamers of Katamari Damacy, which involves a mission to rebuild the universe by pushing around a sticky ball accumulating everything it rolls on. In Tasty Planet, however, the tale involves a science experiment gone very, very wrong. Instead of rebuilding the universe, you try to destroy it by eating it. You begin as a teeny tiny, unstoppable blob that gobbles up everything in its path, starting with amoebas and germs. The more you eat the more you grow in size but you can never eat anything bigger than your head. Isn’t that what your mother used to tell you? The next edibles you’ll want to devour and digest might involve golf balls, cars, trees, houses. What’s next, planets? Yes! The bigger you grow the larger the meal possibilities. Yum! Download it
Air AssaultAir Assault – This is a classic, action-arcade helicopter shooter with you leading a mission to fight terrorist forces to save the world. Fly your helicopter above enemy lines to destroy as many opponents and strategic peripheral elements (barracks, bridges, antennas) as possible. Use your skills, guns, missiles, rockets and whatever you can get your hands on to fight for the cause. As you progress, the game’s difficulty level increases. The game features 10 different power ups, over 30 types of enemies and 30 levels. Download it
Sprouts AdventureSprouts Adventure – If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to play God, here’s your chance. In this sim game for Mac, a devastating storm nearly wipes out an entire  population of sprouts, which are cute, squeaky little beings. The few survivors remaining need help. This is where you step in. As ruler you must guide the sprouts back to their original prosperous life. How will you do that? The sprouts are counting on you to put them back on track and to return them to the lifestyle they once loved. Keep them fed, assist them in rebuilding their homes and land, help them invent wonderful toys to play with, and ultimately keep them happy and productive. Try to earn as many Karma points as you can and do remember to remove the weeds!  Download it

ChuzzleChuzzle – Sometimes you want to sit back and play a light-hearted game filled with fuzzy, giggly creatures that squeak, sneeze and tease you. Don’t you? You can do that with Chuzzle, a slide and match puzzle game. These googly-eyed koosh balls on nitrous oxide will shed their feathery, fuzzy fur all over the place, transfer themselves into a scientist’s beaker until there are too many of them inside.

Will you fall in love with your soulmate and live happily ever after? Will you have a spirited heart? You’ll need to play the game in order to find out! Download it
Boggle Boggle – Hasbro has brought the popular board game to your Macintosh, but this version includes some twists. Shake the box of letter dice, watch them land and create as many words as possible with the the available letters and before the time runs out. With Boggle for Mac, however, the letters have to connect to each other on the board, giving you an added challenge over the classic board game for the entire family. By the way, when they say this is a game for the whole family, they really mean it; players of various ages will find their own level of difficulty whether they are small kids or young-at-heart grandparents.

Fun Friday of Five Mac Games

king maniaKing Mania – Are you the type of person who depends on a real premise in a game to be able to take over the world? Do you really need a story backdrop to play? If you’re from the Yes-I-need-a-reason-and-a-story-to-fight-the-enemy-or-find-objects-or-match-gems school of gaming, this isn’t for you. You see, this action strategy game, King Mania, has no solid explanation for you to be taking over enemy territory…and the makers of the game aren’t ashamed about it, either. What they do have for you is an entertaining, humorous game set in a fantasy world where you set out to build on the strength of your monarchy until you acquire a bunch of potatoes and become the most powerful ruler of the kingdom. Download it
poker superstarsPoker Superstars II – Poker players, get rid of the serious faces; they won’t be needed here to play a lively game or more of Texas Hold ‘Em with your favorite poker superstars. They may try to intimidate you but keep a level head and remember all the tips you’ve learned in the game, and you could be well on your way to winning big. If you happen to lose big instead, at least it’ll just be virtual money that you’ve lost and not your real, hard earned cash. Download it
Puzzle QuestPuzzle Quest – Puzzle Quest manages to somehow marry an odd couple: a match three jewel game with a sim. Then, for good measure and years of happiness there’s some RPG thrown into the mix. Within a medieval setting it of course will ultimately involve an epic adventure of good versus evil. So, expect to become the hero (well, depending on how you will play) in this unique and unexpectedly refreshing hybrid of a game; Battle enemies, capture castles, recruit armies and fight with the goal of building an unstoppable empire that will prove your worth to the Warlords. Over 150 Challenging Quests. Download it
titan attacksTitan Attacks – Titan Attacks was an instant hit some time back, but just in case you missed it the first time around, it’s featured here. Shooter game clones come and go like the wind but Titan Attacks manages to hold on to its staying power because of its addictive excellence. With slick, eye grabbing graphics this modern take on Space Invaders will hook even those gamers who are not likely to play these kinds of games. I can attest to this statement because I got completely sucked in and I usually pass on shoot ‘em ups (with a couple of exceptions). This one might possibly hook you from the very beginning. You’ve been warned. Download it
curse of the amsterdam diamondCurse of the Amsterdam Diamond – Hidden object games have become a huge part of some gamers’ lives and I would be remiss not to include one here every now and again. Travel vicariously by playing the excellent Curse of the Amsterdam Diamond, and wander the old European canal town while solving puzzles in the most famous places targeted by tourists. By solving games and puzzles you will come closer to lifting an old curse hovering over the city. Pay special attention to the Carre Theatre, the Rijksmuseum and the Flower Market. Who is responsible for the curse? What is hidden there? Why are you looking for hidden objects? Where is the diamond? Download it
