I am Mac-based and love adventure/puzzle games. While there are certainly more available now than there used to be, many games are still only for Windows. The Mac games I've enjoyed recently that spring to mind include The Mystery of Haunted Hollow and Anna's Quest. Ones I'm on the fence about--fun but not interesting enough to finish--include Deponia, Heaven's Hope, Blackwell Legacy and The Night of the Rabbit. Casual games I liked (and finished) include Azada, Invasion I and II, 9 Elefants (even with all the bugs!).

If anyone knows of similar good Macintosh games, I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!

Hi, I hope that someone can come up with some good suggestions for you. And if you want to discuss possible casual games, I would suggest making a new post in the Casual Games forum.

If you liked Blackwell Legacy, check the other Blackwell games.
They are currently 80% off at GOG, and I'm mainly linking to GOG webpages because they are currently having such a good sale. After the sale is over you may want to check other sites like Big Fish or wherever you like to buy from.

Dark Eye: Memoria one of my favorite relatively recent games
https://www.gog.com/game/memoria
I don't think the previous game, Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav was made for Mac, but it's not necessary to have played it to enjoy Memoria.

There are 4 Deponia games now, so if you missed one you could play that. This is the latest one:

Many old "classics" like The Dig have been configured to automatically use either ScummVM or DOSBox so they run without configuration.

However they may look or sound better with a few tweaks.

Thanks so much for that list, Jenny.
