Discover free Mac games with macgameshuffle

We’ve got a great list of free Mac games here at thriftmac. And if you have the patience, you can scroll through it and find lots of good stuff. But the fact remains that it is a list of apps like any other.

So we decided that since games are about having fun, why not provide a fun way for people to discover Mac games. And so was born macgameshuffle. This new website has nice big icons and screenshots along with full descriptions of each game. You can use the console at the top to leaf through all the games in each category — or best of all you can hit the shuffle button and surprise yourself. To borrow a phrase from Apple’s iPod touch campaign, the “funnest” way to use macgameshuffle is with Safari 3.1 — the shuffle button actually spins.

We’re starting out with 20 games, but we plan to gradually add more until the total is more like 50 — and we won’t stop there. The sky’s the limit.

Just one caution: Because we wanted to make the site as fun as possible, we used some advanced techniques that don’t work in Internet Explorer. If you’re stuck with IE for some reason, the site will function, but we recommend you come back soon with the latest version of Safari or Firefox.

Most of all, macgameshuffle is about having fun. Please enjoy!
