Power Pete (Now Might Mike)

Post by timusafa »

Ok guys, I don't know if anyone used to be an old Mac gamer back in the day... (which is only the 1990's for me). I reciently stumbled on this game:

POWER PETE

Man, this used to be THE game, you were a toy soldier and you ran around blowing up candy cane men, dinosaurs, gingerbread guys, and pretty much everything. You got tooth paste guns, gum-drop cannons and everything.

Another good game is LODE RUNNER

Anyone ever played this one? You are just some Indiana Jones guy running through a 2d world collecting gold and dodging the bad guys. Both are awesome games, Power Pete is for Mac and Lode Runner is for PC.

Also, post any of those Retro-computer games you still play :wink:

I play Super Mario Bros. on my dad's old NES everyone once in a while.

Umm... Power Pete wasn't THE game, Bugdom was THE game. At least, that's how it was for me.

I played Power Pete. Man, I really enjoyed that game. I loved Candy Cane Lane. Nothing quite like throwing exploding birthday cakes or toothpaste guns at gummy bears and chocolate bunnies out to get you! Fairy Tail Trail was also really fun. I loved how when the witches got you instead of losing a heart right away, like with other enemies, you'd turn into a frog!

Man, that was the game. But as JackScratch notes, Bugdom really was the game. It's amazing how many iMacs that game sold (it came bundled with it).
