Some pretty good choices IMO. Marathon would be my pick of classic Mac
games, with Escape Velocity not far behind.

Yeah Spaceward Ho! is a cool game, but has taken simplicity too far IMO.
It was only fun when I had other real people to play against, and
despite Ho!'s online game server the only time I've found people to play
with was 17 years ago in my high school's Mac labs.

I would have to put Avara ahead of both EV and Marathon. I've yet to
find an online game that even compares to the design brilliance that
is Avara's interface.
