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...
