Delve
deep into the vast world of all that is (which is a lot), and you
shall reap endless rewards in your discoveries! So, stop whining that
there are NO Mac Games; I found some just for you. Okay, they are
not yet available but never fear, they're on the horizon, at the end
of the rainbow, a hop skip and a jump away, (your turn to fill in
the next cliché)... You know what I mean. Having said that,
though, no one seems to be able to pinpoint the exact dates of when
these wonderful games will be released. Just check the developers'
sites often and you'll find out when you can play! Maybe in the meantime,
you can check out some of their other games.

Kamaboko Bento

The
harsh war years in ancient feudal Japan left so many without shelter
or food. One such unfortunate soul was Pierre-Henri, an out-of-work
sumo wrestler. Why does this Japanese sumo have a French name? We don’t
know. Anyway, one day the emaciated sumo (barely hanging on to his mawashi
sumowear) stumbled upon a secret beach village of Japanese mystics who
did not welcome outsiders, as they did not wish to be maligned by witch
hunters. He instantly noticed his favorite fishcake, kamaboko,
cooling just inside an open kitchen window. Unable to resist, the apparently
anorexic sumo grabbed all of the kamaboko and ran away as fast
as a sickly sumo could, eating unabashedly at the same time. Unfortunately,
a villager caught him and promptly put a curse on him. He suddenly found
himself banished to a mystical place, an unearthly world with no food,
sake or bento (lunch boxes). He was bummed. Please feed him and free
him from his dreadful purgatory!

Black
Sheep Squadron
The
game, "Black Sheep Squadron" is loosely based on the 1970s television
show, Baa Baa Black Sheep, starring Robert Conrad, itself, loosely based
on Pappy Boyington's autobiography, Baa Baa Black Sheep, which, in turn,
was loosely based on the facts.
Where was I?
Oh yea, the game, Black Sheep Squadron (also known as BS Squadron) takes
all the elements from the Marine Corps aviation fighter squadron as well
as the backdrop of WWII and places it within the context of a "Period"
Shoot 'em up game. Many of the game elements remain, in part, true to
the time, meaning the use of graphics close to resembling Vought O2U and
SU-1 scouting biplanes and fighter gear much like those used by the original
(not loosely based on facts) pilots.
Black Sheep Squadron is a game for very experienced and serious shoot
'em up gamers.

Derelict

a derelict starship with the seemingly mis-chosen name of "The Dire
Circumstances". Their loss, your gain. There's only one minor problem:
It's teeming with aliens!
Have
you ever wanted to just keep shooting?
Derelict is a fast action game with unending hordes of enemies coming
at you in more than thirty levels of mayhem.
Play with either of two different characters: Rachel Riveter, whose gun
shoots streams of rivets, and Demolition Ralph, whose love for explosions
really helps him out of some tight spots against seven different alien
creatures.
And if you've got a friend around, pull up a gamepad and have them help
you clean out the aliens!
