Hi there,

can we please collect PC/Mac Hybrid games.
I could not find a list and there must be a lot of hybrid games out there.

Beginning for about 25 years Blizzard always made hybrid PC/Mac releases. But there are perhaps a lot more of these.

That's going to be a long list I think.
Weird that there isn't a list already, nothing on mobygames?

Some Maxis games for sure. I think my copies of SimTower and SimCity 2000 SE at least work on both PC & Mac. Don't have the media handy to check though.

You could get the list of mac cdrom games from there, cross check with those that were released on pc/dos/windows and look at every box scans to confirm...
From the games I own, You Don't Know Jack and The X-Files game both are hybrid for sure.

My copies of Myth I and II are hybrid CDs. Some copies of Close Combat are hybrid CDs, but mine is Windows-only. My copy of Myth 1 only mentions Windows on the box and system requirements, but it is still a hybrid.

The Simpsons Cartoon Studio and Virtual Springfield, and the King Of The Hill games are also hybrid discs.

I distinctly remember all of the original Humongous Entertainment games were hybrid, from Spy Fox to Backyard Baseball.

edit: Also, very sincere thanks to MAZter for helping me remember a game I always wanted to find again but couldn't remember the name of.
