Still just blown away that John Calhoun, the guy who made Glider (and several other games in this post on Mac games I'm researching and writing) is still active online with his blog/site https://www.engineersneedart.com and he's put a bunch of the old Soft Dorothy stuff over at GitHub: https://github.com/EngineersNeedArt/SoftDorothy-UnfinishedTales-Vol1.

Also, shout out to @setsideb who wrote about John and his projects a while back here: https://setsideb.com/john-calhouns-lost-mac-games

With many thanks to @Maclibrarian , I got to play the new and polished port of the classic Mac game Glypha.

If it sucked, I'd call it Dollar General Joust, but it doesn't, so I'm calling it Mac Joust. The gameplay is fast and intense, with loves coming and going quickly. It definitely feels satisfying to score well, and come back for more. I can see why a lot of my Mac friends revere this game, especially after reading Secret History of Mac Gaming.
