Damn, people are ignorant today.

Where do you get Mac games? THE INTERNET. It's called MacGameFiles.com. Go to any decent self-respecting computer store and there'll be whole isles of Mac games. (Notice I say "decent" and "self-respecting." This does *not* include Best Buy/CompUSA.)

Why would it turn Windows-only? OpenGL and all of the built-in modules are fully cross-platform. I'm having people compile my games for other platforms and the only thing that needs changing is the directory that the prefs file is saved in.

And what's with this strange obsession with saying "MAC" as if it's an acronym? What would it stand for anyway, "Meaningless Acronym Computer?" (You'll get it if you know what I'm talking about, people :) )
