zydeco / Glypha

Modern port of Classic Mac OS game

This is a port of Glypha III from its Mac OS/QuickDraw version (1995) to modern operating systems.

Glypha III is a classic arcade game originally created by John Calhoun in which you are placed inside an Egyptian temple with only your lance and a winged steed to aid you. Here you are forced to do battle with Sphinxes in order to gain the honour of a place on the High Scores list. The game is based on Joust and features sound and the original animated graphics.
