Sorry, sorry, you're right, what I wrote is not what I meant. More 
specifically, after MS bought Bungie, Bungie released one title for 
Mac that had been under development on Mac or perhaps contracted to 
appear on Mac, but nothing else since has appeared for Mac OS (X), 
unless you include all the source they opened.

I spent a lot of time negotiating rat mazes in various versions of 
Marathon, and Oni. Compared to Marathon, Oni actually had a plot, and 
I liked it, tho I guess a lot of folks didn't warm to the gameplay.
