I recently downloaded Amazon Trail and Oregon Trail from Mac Garden (an abandonware website), and then spent a few hours trying to figure out how to emulate them - since apparently Mac OSX no longer supports those programs. There's some sort of emulation program called BasiliskII that is supposed to help you emulate the Mac ROM necessary to run the games - but I couldn't figure out how to get it to work. Have any of you Mac users had any luck emulating this stuff?

Welcome to Pillars of Garendall, a huge (150mb+ for the full version) epic fantasy role playing game created using the Coldstone game engine. You'll need a sharp-edged blade and a heart of steel to make it through this unique action-oriented role playing game.

Now I'm trying to find a top-down action RPG from the late 90s that I played on my 8500 in college and I'm going to lose my mind.
Meanwhile let's remember some other guys

I am dusting off a dozen other completely forgotten game memories trying to find this stupid top-down shareware RPG that I apparently dreamt up

Wasted at least 30 minutes a few weeks ago trying to find an iso file of a Mac shareware CD-ROM I had back in the day. It was loaded with games like Escape Velocity etc but had loads of crude weird homemade games as well.
