All of us at special reserve have gazed upon the gaming industries past and current glories in all forms whether it be that of a console or PC.

But what do I hope to see in the future instead of the majority of PC users playing games on there Windows based machine?

Deeper and deeper stretch the marbled hallways of the brilliant games that have been converted to work on the Macintosh Operating System.

We Mac users are beginning to see a light alike no other, it is the waving of all companies working with them instead of against them, they are not as much waving to say 'hi' but waving for 'help', they need to be rescued from the bottomless Microsoft pit, within the past year the change has begun:

---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 2 ' 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.

Even the great Black & White is going to be released on the Mac OS, and with this hugely successful title, comes the essence of satisfaction amoung the users who were disappointed with there ungamable Mac.

Mark my words: Revolution is coming, no longer is the only computer a WIndows run system, the Mac is fighting strongly outselling the PC in other countries.

Black & White is just the beginning....

Thank you

Yes 'better' is the word, because every game that has been released onto the Mac, has been 'better' I noticed this after being stupid enough to buy the same game on both, and I know which one I played more, it just felt better, I don't know why...

....better is the word... and I await the change!

Yeah I legged it down the garden shouting when I found out B&W was gonna be released on the Mac!

However, Mac is the second format among the GP, it may be used a lot at work places but...

The Mac gaming industry will NEVER be as big as the PC one is. NEVER. You're right though, it will get better.

I'm not aware of any territories where the mac is outselling the pc...

While it's good that the Mac gaming market is picking up, it's still only getting games that the PC has/have been out for a while, and not even all of them. There's still some way to go to catch up, especially with the much wider range of titles/accessories already available for the PC.

and Don't get me started on another war, I'm trying to respect the Mac now..
