Getting back to the subject (sorry, I deleted the rest of the thread
already), I spotted a shrinked copy of Sid Meier's Pirates! for the
Mac at a thrift the other day. I passed on it because simply because

As far as Lucasarts games go, the Macintosh versions get no respect
WHATSOEVER so I wouldn't be surprised if the same mentality is at play here.

There are a fair number of collectible Mac games, but, overall,the Mac market has never held much interest for collectors.
I suspect this can be traced back to Apple's lack of interest in the Mac games market for much ofthe machine's early history. Initially, it looked down its nose at games.
Why is there no market for sports games collectables?
My opinion is because sports games just replace one another with each
successive release. It's not like they're different games (ie, a new sport).
Sure, once in a while I get nostalgic for Great Baseball on the SMS, or
Bases Loaded or Tecmo
Oh, sure; there were probably dozens of games that were Mac-first (others include King of Chicago and virtually every game designed by Chris Crawfordfrom 1985 on :) ), but very fewwound upMac-only. Oids, Pax Imperia, Quarterstaff, Pathways into Darkness, Marathon and Marathon Infinityare the ones
What
about The Fool's Errand and the other Cliff Johnson games? Those were designed
for Mac, weren't they?

The two Cinemaware titlesthat were not Amiga-first were S.D.I. (released first for the Atari ST) and King of Chicago(Mac).
Had Cinemaware remained afloat, this honor would have eventually shifted to PC, which (circa 1990-91) was becoming the lead system for C'ware computer games in development.
