| Spaceship Warlock! Thank you for reminding me of this title.
| Sometimes I think about it but couldn't remember the name.

| It's hard to explain today why it felt so advanced in 1991. The
| fact that it ran from CD on the expensive, exotic Macintosh II
| while other games were low-res and loaded from floppies on MS-
| DOS or Amiga was a big factor.

| Here's a nice blog post about the game:

| Wow suggested price $95.

| I got it in this really cool shaped box that came with like
| 15 games. I'll have to recall what it's called. Something
| like the "Macintosh CD Game Pack"
|
| I remember it included Powermonger, Spectre VR, Power Poker,
| Labyrinth of Time, Populous 2, and many more.
