16 colour games

[Cammy]

Hi everyone. I have just set myself up a 32MB, 30Mhz 030 MacOS 7.6.1 system which is limited to 16 colours in 512x384, 640x480 and 800x600. I would love to install a good collection of software and games that will run in such resolutions. Of course all the black & white games work, but how many games had specific 16 colour versions or options?

Since this thread might come in handy to someone else later on, I'll try to keep the list updated by editing the post each time I find a game that works in 16 colours.

So far I have found:

Prince of Persia

Sword of Sodan

Indiana Jones Desktop Adventures

Uncharted Waters

Hopefully you guys can help remember some more to add! I hope my spelling of the word "colour" (color) doesn't upset anyone, it's how we spell it where I live.

Vette! and Populous also require 16-colours.

SimCity

 

[Mk.558]

Falcon MC

Armour Alley might be able to do 16 colors (and actually isn't that bad either, even on B&W: if you use color on these machines expect a performance hit)

Oxyd might also do 16 colors, but not quite sure: the standard of whether you can control a mouse or not

Try looking at the Macintosh Garden (google it). Dogfight Cit--- ahh that's 256 only.

Also Ferrari GP.

I remember that game now that I saw it on macintoshgarden.org: we bought that game at some computer store on a floppy disk YEARS ago...

And Iraq Attack. That game was actually rather humorous, if a bit boring after awhile. "The biggest unanswered question is 'Where is the money?' *Chink-Ching*"

IIRC, SimCity and Warlords had 4-bit color options.

I would give Asterax a try. I'm not sure it supports 16 colors, but it is from the right time frame.
