Also remember that at that time, Apple didn't really care about games on the Mac. They never saw the gaming industry as anything serious for the Mac platform. Of course, when the mid-90s rolled around and Microsoft came out with DirectX, Apple realized that it had made a huge mistake and then tried a lackluster effort to bring games to the Mac. I remember seeing an article all about it in a PC gaming magazine (can't recall the name). There were even some extensions that Apple created for the PPC Macs that were supposed to do something similar to what DirectX did for gaming on the PC (I can't remember what that was called either :-/ ). Unfortunately, it was too little, too late.
