Greebles

It's great to finally see Greebles available again! Nice work by Grassblade to update my old code to work on modern systems.

The lion's share of my time in Greebles comes not from Steam, but from the old family Macintosh in the basement of my childhood home. But I have played enough of this version to say this local multiplayer gem of the heyday of old-school Mac shareware by Peter Lewis has stepped from 1997 into the current day magnificently unchanged thanks to Grassblade Entertainment, right down to still having a Register button on the main menu (though the game is, obviously, already registered).

I love this game

This is a faithful port of one of my favourite classic Mac games. It retains a couple of minor bugs from back then and also adds achievements that don't work but it is still incredibly fun.

Just like the good old days, on the good old Mac. And here we go again! =)
