Ok, now I just need Earthworm Jim, Commander Keen, Raptor Call of the Shadows, and Uncharted Waters and my childhood will be successfully recreated.
Raptor is getting a remaster by the original author. It's taking him a while as it seems to be a side hustle.
I wish Jazz had been more popular. I loved Jazz Jackrabbit 1 and 2, and I believe there were plans to make a third, but they decided it wouldn’t sell enough copies. If anyone here can recommend platformers similar to Jazz that run on a Mac, I’d love to play them. I never got into shooters or 3D games, but always enjoyed platformers like Mario and Contra, and Jazz felt perfect for me.
Cave Story+, Rogue Legacy 1, Spelunky, Broforce, Spiritfarer and/or Fez may be to your liking.

I have fond memories of playing Jazz Jackrabbit...and Commander Keen, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Secret Agent Man, Jill of the Jungle, and so on. Epic Games and Apogee were the logos I remember seeing most often. OMG! Jetpack from Adept Software is still available?! https://www.adeptsoftware.com/jetpack/

Tip of my tongue request. Looking up images of DOS platformers like Secret Agent and Crystal Caves reminds me of a game that was loaded on some elementary school computers in 1998. I don't recall if they were Mac or DOS, but they certainly weren't the cutting edge G3. I think the game had a character in a trench coat and they were maybe a sleuth of some kind. The color palette was dark but there were yellow-ish light…
Could it be Secret Agent by Apogee Software? https://store.steampowered.com/app/358350/Secret_Agent/
I think it is likely an Apogee game or by someone inspired by their art. I haven't found a solid hit of what's in my memory after looking through their catalog and a quick glance through a wider list. It may just be busted memories and it is Secret Agent. It's unsatisfactory though because every other vague memory has turned out to be more accurate than not.

Hollow Knight, Ori, Celeste.
For multiplayer, Towerfall.

edit: This DOS game might be the one you're thinking of

All of those and gizmos and gadgets. God I spent so much time on that one. And the lost mind/island of Dr. Brain. I wish I could still play them!
I kind of want to install The Incredible Machine now. I just have to find a can opener, a rocket and a baseball. Hmm..

It's extremely faithful to the original in terms of "feeling", to the point where it satisfies my TIM nostalgia
