[edit] question from Santaduck

Can you give me more information on what this project is? I'm a wiki noob mostly, but one of my specialties is mac gaming, and will be filling in some new articles on related topics.

I've noticed you were selecting a list of seemingly "significant" games. I might add Crystal Quest and Tetris for older macs, and of course there are a bunch if we go to Apple ii days, or even the way back to BASIC classics such as Lemonade and ELIZA. One of the first Mac SE appletalk enabled network games I remember is Robosport. I see you already have Glider. Other OS X games that may be of significance include ones typically used for benchmarking in the past several years (by Apple, barefeats.com, xlr8yourmac.com, and others) mostly 3D FPSs such as Halo, Unreal Tournament 2004, and Doom 3, as well as the cultural phenomenon of MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft or Second Life. There are also several games that have famously jumped from Mac to PC, such as Freeverse's Burning Monkey Solitaire, and Austin Meyer/Laminar Research's X-Plane. Freeverse's iSight based ToySight Gold is also unique... and there are popular linux ports such as Freespace 2. Do iPod games count? Let me where you might need help in Mac Gaming areas.
