Nostalgie-Serie: Mac Games ab anno dazumals

Auf der swizz.Clanpage ist der alljährliche swizz.Adventskalender wieder online. Dieses Jahr widmet sich das “Thema” des Kalenders einer kurzen Historie der grösseren Spieletiteln, welche für den Apple Macintosh veröffentlicht wurden.

Viel Spass und eine schöne Weihnachtszeit!
