(-: It annoys hell out of me when IBM peeps say "But there's NO games on Mac". IMO, sure, there are fewer [like, by 90+%] games on Mac, but the games that are around are of superior quality in all ways than IBM. Marathon, sure, has similarities to Quake and/or Doom, but Marathon is better by far. Dark Castle (and BDC - they go hand in hand), even in b&w form, beats many IBM games of even 90's standards. If you want a games machine, by a Nintendo... Playstation... Sega... IBM... If you want a computer, by a Mac. -- ...vwoorp...vwoorp...vwoorp...vwoorp...vwoorp...vwoorp...vwoorp... ... ...
