The Secret History of Mac Gaming also features guest chapters from Craig Fryar, Apple’s first Mac games evangelist and the co-creator of hit game Spectre, as well as specially-created divider illustrations and cover art by graphic designer and pixel artist JJ Signal, all styled in the gorgeous 1-bit aesthetics of early Macintosh games. At 480 pages long, The Secret History of Mac Gaming features eye-catching coloured page edges, a hardback cover printed with pantone inks and a colour-coded bookmark ribbon. It’s a book about people who followed their hearts first and market trends second, showing how clever, quirky, and downright wonderful video games could be. Written by award-winning journalist and game historian Richard Moss, The Secret History of Mac Gaming draws on a combination of archive material and around 80 interviews with key figures from the era to tell the story of those communities and the game developers who survived and thrived in an ecosystem that was serially ignored by the outside world. It welcomed strange ideas and encouraged experimentation. It fostered passionate and creative communities who inspired and challenged developers to do better and to follow the Mac mantra: ‘think different’. It allowed anyone to create games and playful software with ease, and gave indie developers a home for their products.
Mac gaming led to much that is now taken for granted by PC gamers and spawned some of the biggest franchises in video game history - including Myst, Halo, and SimCity. It made human-computer interaction friendly, inviting, and intuitive.
It challenged the medium to be more than child’s play and quick reflexes.
