Line 1: {{work\|wppage=Glider (video game)}} ~~{{trope}}~~ A trilogy of Macintosh arcade games by John Calhoun. Players navigate a paper airplane past an assortment of lethal household objects, using the ubiquitous hot air vents to stay aloft. Line 8: '''Glider PRO''' was designed to be "Glider 4.0 times ten. Everything would be up a notch or two." Players could now leave the house and check out the neighborhood, and modders could craft total conversions. No detail was left unimproved, from the TV sets (which played animations) to the clocks (which showed the correct time). Like ''Glider 4.0'' it featured a room editor. As with the ''[[Marathon ~~(Video Game)~~Trilogy\|Marathon]]'' trilogy, the second game was ported to Windows and largely ignored, so the third and most moddable remained Mac-exclusive. ''Glider 4.0'' was also released as an NES cartridge... in 2008.
