Happy 40th birthday to the original Macintosh and to the first commercially released Mac game, Alice (aka Through the Looking Glass). The former was a revelation in how we interact with and comprehend our computers; the latter kicked off a long line of offbeat and creative interactive computing experiences and games that could only exist on a computer like the Mac.
You can read about the creation and influence of both in my book The Secret History of Mac Gaming. The publisher has the Expanded Edition on sale today to celebrate the milestone. https://www.bitmapbooks.com/collections/all-books/products/the-secret-history-of-mac-gaming-expanded-edition

@MossRC You’re welcome! I was trying to write something that would explain for posterity why Mac gaming mattered to us, and then I realized that your book had already explained it way better.
