Because-This game is an incredible new idea from Ambrosia (makers of Escape
Velocity, Maelstrom, [avail. @ The Mac Table] etc..). You may play multiplayer games across AppleTalk
or a modem (28.8 modem recomended) right through a small app inside the
game. Start your own game or join an existing one as you take the place of
a robot in a mantis shape called a HECTOR. This game has brought new
levels to network mac games.

Because-James Burton performed a Pascal-miricle with this game. The black
and white version runs exceptionally fast while the color version is
dazzling. There are all sorts of great demons in hell, there is Astoroth,
who turns invisible, Ameodeus, lord of corruption and also Leviathan great
monster of the deep. You play Bill. Well, not every demon can be
intimidating. Some guy has to do all the dirty work. Your power? A damn
loud voice. But no more! You will show them! You are going through all 9
circles of hell to get the autograph of the devil himself! No one in hell
will make fun of you then and if you eat some human souls along the way,
what the hell.

Because-Bolo I think was pretty much the first networkable mac game. You
drive around in a tank through grass,water and trees building a base and
destroying other tanks. Great job by Stuart Chestire. I would also
recommend also finding a copy of bolo 3d. It adds a new perspective to the
game and also allows for better shooting accuracy. May be played with a
modem or AppleTalk.

Because- This mac game was a new style in the launcher of my mac. Unlike
other mac games this one was adapted from a game from SEGA-Bomberman. The
neat music and colorful grafics only add to a new style to come to the mac.

Because-Yet another super game from Ambrosia. You play a fish suriving in
the ocean against bigger fish, star fish and even sharks. Addicting game
line and catchy music too.

Because-Just had to get a fighting game in somewhere but even though this may be the best fighting game for mac it is still nothing near as good as the PC ones. Try it, you might like it, or you might think it has a few miles of room for improving. Mac programmers out there-make a better fighting game, please.

Because- Wow, wow, wow! What more can I say but this game is incredible! It
may take 4 or so hours to download but it is well worth the time. If you
don't get this game at least get the next one, or you are very crazy.
