Der Macintosh hat Videospiele verändert. Er forderte das Medium heraus, mehr zu sein als nur ein Kinderspiel und schnelle Reflexe. Er machte die Interaktion zwischen Mensch und Computer freundlich, einladend und intuitiv. Mac-Spiele führten zu vielem, was heute für PC-Spieler selbstverständlich ist, und brachten einige der größten Franchises der Videospielgeschichte hervor - darunter Myst, Halo und SimCity. Er ermöglichte es jedem, mit Leichtigkeit Spiele und spielerische Software zu entwickeln, und gab unabhängigen Entwicklern ein Zuhause für ihre Produkte.

Der Macintosh begrüßte ungewöhnliche Ideen und ermutigte zum Experimentieren. Er förderte leidenschaftliche und kreative Gemeinschaften, die Entwickler inspirierten und herausforderten, es besser zu machen und dem Mac-Mantra zu folgen: "Think different".

Der preisgekrönte Journalist und Spielehistoriker Richard Moss erzählt in seinem Buch The Secret History of Mac Gaming anhand von Archivmaterial und rund 80 Interviews mit Schlüsselfiguren dieser Ära die Geschichte dieser Communitys und der Spieleentwickler, die in einem Ökosystem überlebten und gediehen, das von der Außenwelt weitgehend ignoriert wurde. Es ist ein Buch über Menschen, die in erster Linie ihrem Herzen und erst in zweiter Linie den Markttrends folgten und zeigten, wie clever, skurril und geradezu wunderbar Videospiele sein konnten.

The Secret History of Mac Gaming enthält außerdem Gastkapitel von Craig Fryar, Apples erstem Mac-Games-Evangelisten und Mitentwickler des Spielehits Spectre, sowie eigens angefertigte Illustrationen für die Trennblätter und das Cover von Grafikdesigner und Pixelkünstler JJ Signal, die alle in der wunderschönen 1-Bit-Ästhetik der frühen Macintosh-Spiele gehalten sind. Das 480 Seiten starke Buch The Secret History of Mac Gaming zeichnet sich durch auffällige farbige Seitenränder, einen mit Pantone-Farben bedruckten Hardcover-Einband und ein farblich gekennzeichnetes Lesezeichenband aus. Wie bei allen Bitmap-Books-Büchern wird eine fadengeheftete Bindung verwendet für zusätzliche Haltbarkeit und lithografisch auf hochwertigem Papier gedruckt, um die prächtigen Bilder so zu präsentieren, wie sie es verdienen.

Diese neu erweiterte Ausgabe enthält rund 70 Seiten zusätzlichen Inhalt, darunter ein Vorwort des Miterfinders von The 7th Guest und ehemaligen id Software- und Apple-Mitarbeiters Graeme Devine, eine kommentierte Zeitleiste, über 60 zusätzliche Bilder, eine Icon-Galerie und mehr als 6.000 zusätzliche Wörter in den Kapiteln - zusätzlich zu den 115.000 Wörtern der ersten Ausgabe -, die eine Vielzahl zusätzlicher Spiel- und Entwicklergeschichten abdecken, darunter die Geschichten hinter Snood, Chaos Overlords, The Dungeon of Doom und mehr. Außerdem wurde das Design auf der Grundlage von Leserfeedback überarbeitet und aktualisiert, um ein besseres Leseerlebnis zu bieten.

Perfect, affordable solution for a second home-office setup
I work from home and occasionally like to office out of a different area of the house, but I didn't want to tear down my entire main rig just to move to another room. I picked this up as a secondary docking station for a more casual monitor setup, and it works perfectly for my needs. Setup & Performance: I have this hooked up to my work laptop and two monitors via HDMI. One thing to keep in mind: you’ll need to provide your own USB-C cable and power brick to juice it up. Just make sure you’re using a high-quality charging block to ensure the dock gets consistent power for all your peripherals. The Value: Compared to the price of a name-brand Dell docking station, the value here is incredible. While the more expensive docks might offer a few extra bells and whistles, this is exactly what I needed without the hefty price tag. Pros: Simple Setup: Very straightforward to get running. Dual Monitor Support: Handles two HDMI monitors with no issues. Compact: Great for a secondary or portable "mini" workstation. Bottom Line: If you’re looking for an easy, inexpensive way to run dual monitors from your laptop in another part of the house, this is the way to go. Great performance for the price!

Works well but pay attention **REVISED**
The device has worked well for me. However potential buyers should note that the 2nd USB C port is reserved for power input from a separately purchased power supply. So the device provides only a single USB C port for attaching devices. I use the device on power from my own computer. So undocking my computer requires some careful steps in the correct sequence: (1) eject all external drives; (2) power down the external display; (3) unplug Anker from computer; (4) remove power from the computer. The device comes at a great price, though, so excellent value. *REVISION* After four months of use, the HDMI port seemed to fail--the monitor was indicating that it was not connected. I wrote to Anker support and received a reply within two hours. The reply told me how to reset the docking station. It worked. Kudoes to Anker Support!

Quality multi display hub
Works as intended, good value for the money and reasonably sized. I am currently running two 4K HDMI monitors on it without an issue. Ready to go out of the box and has a sturdy design, would recommend.

Anker support comes through
Update: Anker support contacted me and provided a new unit. On this one, the video works fine, both via HDMI and DisplayPort. I'm much happier now that the unit, which I do like, works properly. There is still one video-related quirk that can be annoying, though, if you often unplug the external monitor from the hub but leave the hub connected to the computer. When I unplug the external monitor from the hub, the hub doesn't tell the computer that the monitor is no longer connected (the same thing happened with the original faulty unit). Since the external monitor is my primary monitor when connected, this leads to an irritating set of steps ending up with disconnecting the hub. I reported this issue to Anker support and they forwarded it to their engineering group. Initial review: I like the form factor and the many connection options. They all work fine EXCEPT that the video (whether DisplayPort or HDMI) keeps dropping out. The computer (MacBook Pro M1 14" running MacOS 13.0.1) thinks the external monitor is there, but nothing shows on the screen for a few seconds, then it comes back on, then off again. Anker support says to try updating the firmware, but to do that requires a Windows computer with a USB-C port. I do not have access to such a machine, so I'm stuck. Since one of the primary reasons I want a hub is to handle the video, I have to return the unit. This is a real disappointment since I otherwise have been very happy with Anker products.

Incredible Quality, Incredible Results!!
AMAZING!! I use my Samsung Z Fold with a Maono Podcast Soundboard for podcasting. Having the phone charge from the soundboard power passthrough was inadequate to keep the phone charged, and generated "noise" in the path. I got the Anker 565 USB-C hub, and routed the power and signal through the Anker hub. WOW!! My phone remains fully charged throughout the podcast, there is ZERO "noise" in the signal, and I can actually do more than ever expected! The quality of Anker products has been proven with me Over and Over with every single product I have purchased. From high-end 240w USB-C cords, to Power Banks, Power Blocks, Bluetooth Earbuds & Headphones, across the board; I have never been disappointed! I highly recommend Anker, and specifically the Anker 565 USB-C hub!!
