Deeper and deeper stretch the marbled hallways of the brilliant games that have been converted to work on OS on a mac.

All of us at special reserve have gazed upon the gaming industries past and current glories.

---The school kids are happy with there basic amusement and a change from the daily drudgery of class, they go home and enjoy a nice game of 'Theme Park' on there Mac.

---The students are little better (me), desperately trying not to fail there exams and what nots they play games which seem to call there names within there heads and they cant resist playing 'Deus Ex' again on their Mac

Some games we hoped to see in 2000 - are missing, but make no mistake that the games that where released onto the Mac were really good:

--The Sims
--Diablo II
--Deus Ex
--Star Wars: E1R

These are the ones I class in the Mac games of 2000.

2001 promises to shake things up: revolution is coming, no longer is the only computer a WIndows run system, the Mac is fighting strongly and is selling in Millions over the PC. Many companies are releasing games on both in America and I hope to see it happen here.


Thank you

The problem is Apple dont want the Mac to appear as a games machine, and to appear to be a business machine... which is why they try to keep a low profile on Mac games... So much so, that I've known times where there were more Linux games releases than Macs...

I have heard it does make a great games machine though?

(Didnt Gatesy buy a lot stocks in Apple?)

Well I guess because the I-mac is a fairly standard system it can be pushed to the limits like a console!!! I heard 3D wasnt as good as with the PC cards, but then I guess the Mac has the advantage of not running under a Microsoft OS environment.

Personally Ive been trying to win an I-mac but I havent had any luck, and nobody wants to sell theres because theyre efficient...with no chance of getting a second hand bargain, I guess Ill have to hope Ill win the lottery.
