Glypha
Joust through an Egyptian-themed arena in John Calhoun's original monochrome Macintosh shareware game.
John Calhoun, 1990
Egyptian jousting on a classic Mac
Ride a flying bird through Glypha's single-screen arena, trying to take the higher position over enemies and collect their eggs before they hatch. John Calhoun's original monochrome game was built for the early Macintosh.
This entry uses the original freely distributed shareware build, not its modern commercial remake. Choose File > Begin to enter the arena; the default keyboard controls are A to move left, S to move right, and Space to flap.
