As I'm sure is blatantly obvious, this newsgroup is now, in essence, little
else but spam. Not much spam, I grant you, but this is all that's left.

Of course I suppose one could blame this on the inherent lack of Mac
Adventures of late, which would be a perfectly valid claim. There have been a
plethora of Adventure games over the last few years but it seems that the Mac
platform is relegated to one a year. And two of those are Rhem(No, that isn't
a complaint). There was also that sequel to Riddle of the SPhinx, as I
recall. Even Zarf has taken to reviewing PS2 and PC games neigh on
exclusively. Niche gaming on a niche computer that isn't exactly famous for
gaming. Ah well. (ScummVM is a given, don't start).

At this point in the post, I'm required to either point to the future(It can
only get better!) or to the past(But look at all those games we already
have!). Plenty of people are already doing the first, and plenty of people
have done the second. Titanic: Adventure Out of Time really is a good game,
however. And I worship the Journeyman trilogy. And of course there are all of
those hardly known games such as Rama or Welcome to the Future(Still haven't
gotten around to playing that one...). But that's enjoyably tedious, you must
understand. No, I shall simply sit and scowl, refusing to buy an intel Mac
and install BootCamp. Or use Parallels. Or whatever the hell.
