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

The two Cinemaware titles that 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
it was
released for the IIGS, unless we are referring to the IIGS when we
mention
Macintosh in this regard.

That contradicts everything I know about Cinemaware, so either you're wrong
(not likely) or my knowledge is incomplete (likely). Is there a reference or
person I can consult to

What
about The Fool's Errand and the other Cliff Johnson games? Those were designed
for Mac, weren't they?

Oh, sure; there were probably dozens of games that were Mac-first (others include King of Chicago and virtually every game designed by Chris Crawford from 1985 on :) ), but very few wound up Mac-only. Oids, Pax Imperia, Quarterstaff, Pathways into Darkness, Marathon and Marathon Infinity are the on

The upshot is that, without much encouragement from the top, few game
publishers invested heavily in the Mac market. (To be sure, there are
exceptions, like Bungie, Cassady & Greene, pre-Activision Infocom, early
Cyan, and, later on, companies like GT Interactive's MacSoft).
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 of the machine's early history. Initially, it looked down its nose at games.

One bid, six games in good condition, $8? I have two questions based on this
occurance:
1. Is there just no market for Macintosh software collectables? Why the hell not?
2. Along those lines,
