User AvatarI mean, I just realized that there is no Macintosh section here. There's Apple ][, sure, but no Mac or OSX. Why is that?

And here I am, with a classic Sierra Macintosh game I want to add...
User AvatarIt's still in the works. The biggest issue in adding support for Mac is how to make the divisions. Current, we're thinking of adding:

Mac Classic (680x0)
Mac PPC
Mac OSX

...as the three platforms, because games from those eras do not work on other eras.

Comments are welcome :-)
User AvatarWe're working on getting the tech attributes all sorted out correctly in order so that adding those will be smooth. We're currently shooting to have it online before March.
In order to add a platform we need to research the technical attributes. This is relatively easy when we are talking about a console system. There are a limited number of video and sound formats. Typically on the console systems there is only a limited number of peripherals. However with a computer system there are a myriad of operating system and hardware configurations. We try to represent this when selecting supported and required tech specs. The Macintosh is a big system and it has taken a while to collect all this data. We are pretty close to pushing it out.
User AvatarAh, cool. Thanks for the answer. :)
