This was something I've been meaning to do for a while and now that my Macintosh is still in the repair shop I figured I'd finally get it out of the way.
You may recall back in September 2016 I posted a custom-modded version of 3D Maze Man that added a few extra levels to the campaign and restored the otherwise cut Winter Wonderland world from Fantasy Zone. The truth is, I also have modded the other four games in the "series", which were all built from the same engine and feature otherwise identical gameplay.

These modded versions serve to slightly distance the games from each other- primarily in the audio department. Rather than pull all of the music from the original 3D Maze Man, the other games sans Winter Wonderland are given new and unique soundtracks. 3D Frog Man takes its OST from the otherwise unrelated 3D Frog Frenzy, 3D Ms. Maze uses the tracks from 3D Caveman Rocks!, and 3D Munch Man II has a new selection of tunes assembled from various Webfoot games. The sound effects and in-game text have been altered as well to varying degrees (no more screaming, instead you get the classic Pac-Man death sound and a few other "funny" sounds if a ghost catches you) to give each game a different feel, if that makes sense. The original sounds are still included if you wish to revert the changes.
The odd one out in this collection is Winter Wonderland, the only game in the pack that is almost identical to the original save for text changes and is only here for the sake of being the complete collection with no exceptions to the rule.
You can grab the pack in its entirety here, and remember to use Windows 98 compatibility if your computer supports it.
