Are they the 'epics' of their time, or some things that are less well known?

I bloody loved Harry The Handsome Executive. It was an Ambrosia Software shareware game from the 90s and was surprisingly underrated. Will probably run on Infinite Mac but it never got an OS X port or anything

I have an old iBook which it still runs great on

    shareware gave rise to some truly original and awe-inspiring games, some like this: https://mattyongames.wordpress.com/2008/12/03/grandad-quest/

    Yes! And that’s amazingly similar to Harry (but also completely different) - Harry goes around the various offices on his swivel chair (backwards, because kicking off things is of course easier) and fires staples at malfunctioning robots
