I reccomend the classic Lucas Arts adventure games.

I second the LucasArts games, as well as Prince Of Persia, Alone In The
Dark, Pathways Into Darkness, Dark Castle, Beyond Dark Castle....and
I've always loved Cosmic Osmo, Manhole, and Spelunx. I really
recommend checking out http://mac.the-underdogs.info/ that should be a
great trip down memory lane for you, and should keep you busy for HOURS.

I suppose the LucasArts games or more or less implied, a series of
games that anyone who has has ever played an adventure game has at
least heard of in passing. That being said, the origional Alone in the
Dark, though difficult to play on some newer computers, seems to be
ideal. The first two Broken Sword games, though newer, should also
appeal, to some extent. Though rare the first game was released for the
Mac. Both, however, are supported by ScummVM, as long as you're Mac
runs OS X.
