Best games/apps to showcase B&W mac?

anyone has a list of games that run on unexpanded Mac 128k?
Civilization and Vette!
They're the only two I can think of that nobody else mentioned. Though Civ may be slow on 68K. . .
Every other suggestion is sound. Personally I find the "Quest" games very poorly optimized on the Mac, barely playable but give it a go none-the-less.
Wasn't Syndicate B&W too? That would probably be a slideshow on 68K though (if it works at all).

IIci is 25Mhz with cache (usually). Classic II is 16MHz and is crippled by other factors too.
That said, being as it's only rendering white and black, it probably wouldn't be too bad on it.

I don’t recommend games where the bitmaps originated elsewhere and were ported lazily to the Mac. Not good showcases.
Cosmic Osmo, The Manhole, and Spelunx and the Caves of Mr. Seudo all have superb 1-bit artwork. Cyan made their own halftone patterns, which blend smoothly into one another. I recreated these patterns in FullPaint for use in my own doodles.
Before he made the Dark Castle games, Mark Stephen Pierce did the handsome demo animation for VideoWorks and VideoWorks II.
Both Frankie’s Dungeon and Creepy Castle are lookers, though the latter has better interstitials. Its main title screen is just smashing.
Trici Venola’s character art for The Comic Strip Factory is juicy stuff. I wish she had made a game.
A lot of love went into the sprites for the black-and-white version of Battle Chess.
Arkanoid is an outstanding arcade conversion. It has fast action and flicker-free animation.

Hey Crutch, I don't mean to be a pest. Any luck here? I checked the garden, and it's still the zipped image files that I can't seem to get to mount.
Oh my mistake! I misread an earlier post to think you were all set here. I will do this by Thursday!
@sixsevenco done ... check download #2 on the StarWars page at the Garden. I have no idea what that giant zip file is in download #1, among other things it's way too big. I think it may just be corrupt. Let me know if #2 works.
FA-18 Hornet 1 and 2 also work in the SE/30 I believe
Now that I have my own SE/30 (well, several), I'll have to give those a try!FA-18 Hornet 1 and 2 also work in the SE/30 I believe
