Mac only games? Can you name any?
:P

Any commercial Mac-only game released... Well, after Marathon.

Well... You are wrong. :roll:
Massive assault and Robin Hood are the only games by Freeverse that can be called commercial. Others are shareware.
And both of the titles exist for PC.

What about Active Lancer? I loved that game! I'm not sure, but I believe wingnuts was commercial, too...

Active Lancer. Mac only title. Vertical scrolling shooter. It may be a competitor of Ambrosia's Deimos rising... That is all.

Pangea makes shareware games. They can call it "commercial via internet", but the quality is still not-that-high.

And all of Pangea's last and larger games (which are somewhat *nice*) have PC-versions.

Pangeas older games could be bought as a cd, i remember i bought some quite a few years ago but are also available as shareware.

Ok, ok!

You could have bought some of the old Pangea's games on a cd. Some may have been even published by Bungie (Weekend Warrior, eh?) But this was either years ago or not true. The thing is, decent games for the Mac nowadays rarely appear at all. And we are happy with few crappy ports.

Is it sad? Perhaps. But inevitable.

I've always liked games from Code-blender, DanLabGames, and the company that made Uplink and Darwinia. i haven't played the latter, though...

Now these are better arguments! Of course, Code Blender and DanLabGames don't produce industry-standard eye-candy... But look like succesful small businesses. The problem is they are self-publishers, and use our favorite download-then-pay scheme. Sure, one may argue that this is a good way to sell software, but let us get real - their products just aren't good enough to be on the store shelves. I mean, they can be fun, entertaining and downright good, but the amount of content, quality of models and sound etc. is... :)

As for Uplink and stuff - these are ports (or simultaneous releases?) from PC-side.

DanLabGames has excellent eye-candy; He is an artist. His upcoming game will be more than good enough to be on shelves, but then again so is IMG.

That racing game? Oh yes... Not "that good", as I see, but rather "almost that good" :) Still images are nice. Shall see the 3d in motion.
