An arcade trip back in time!
Reviewed by: Marty Walser, Tue Jan 18 2005
If you want a little old school arcade action, this is the one to download!
Solarian II is a Galaga-like game that came out in the early days of color Macintoshes. It used to fit on an old 800K floppy, but no doubt the port to OS X added a few K to the application.
Anyway, the old game hasn't changed a bit except to add OS X compatibility. It's still as challenging, fun and whimsical as always.
The graphics aren't fancy (it was 1988 after all) but they don't need to be for it to still be a fun and engaging play.
Give it a try... at 800K it'll take mere moments to download. What can you lose? The first five levels are free to play with only a modest $10 shareware fee to play on.
