For a one of a kind retro Mac game, look no further than Adventures of El Ballo. It mixes some wacky adult humor with some pretty solid platform gameplay. The player travels through stages and battles bosses at the end of each area. Along the way, they collect new weapons to help in the adventure.
The game’s standard mode has the adult-ish content, but it also offers a family-friendly mode that cleans things up. However, at this point in time, the game’s video scenes are not even playable. As a matter of fact, the movie playback option needs to be disabled in the game’s settings in order to play the game due to a QuickTime movie playing issue. (The video movie technology used in the game was created in Flash, which is no longer supported in versions of QuickTime above 6.5.2.) Definitely worth getting as retro Mac games are quite rare!
This game was developed by ProRattaFactor and published through Ambrosia Software.
