Was just looking through the new EggHead Christmas Catalog, and saw a few
new/recent Mac games that looked interesting, including:

HUNT FOR THE RED OCTOBER: Get your Soviet Sub to America without being
                          captured/destroyed by Soviet forces.  From the
                          Tom Clancy best-seller.  If the Russians are as
                          dumb in the game as they are in the book, it
                          won't be much of a challange.  Electronic Arts.

MEAN 18, ULTIMATE GOLD:   New golf game from Accolade.

MANHUNTER: NEW YORK:      You're an undercover agent in post-Apocalypse
                          Manhattan (how can you tell the difference? :-) )
                          for the alien dicatorship that controls the city.
                          Sounds like they have a good graphics interface.

SPACE QUEST II:           I seem to remember someone recommending SPACE QUEST;
                          I like the premise of II, where you have to stop the
                          villain, Vohaul, from sending legions of insurance
                          salesmen to Earth -- "genetically engineered to
                          never take 'No' for an answer."  It advertises 3D
                          animation.

Has anyone seen/heard things about these games?  Recommendations or
non-recommendations?  I'll probably pick up RED OCTOBER because I like
submarine games...

                            entirely dim."
