See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Well, you could buy them. Most software stores have a section for Mac games, but you can usually get better prices, a better selection, and a better return policy from mailorder sources. Each issue of MacWorld and MacUser contains many, many ads for mailorder companies, between which they occasionally sandwich articles. The phone numbers for the biggest sources in the USA are: MacConnection: 1-800-800-3333 1-603-446-5555 MacWarehouse: 1-800-255-6227 1-908-370-3801 MacZone: 1-800-248-0800 1-206-603-2400 Mac's Place: 1-800-249-0009 1-406-758-8000 (formerly Computer Outfitters, which was formerly Mac's Place. Don't ask.) They'll be happy to send you a complete catalog upon request. There are also several mailorder sources on the WWW: Computer Express: <http://www.cexpress.com/> Cyberian Outpost: <http://www.cybout.com/> Cyberian Outpost in particular has an excellent reputation on the comp.sys.mac.games groups. Both of these companies do overseas shipping. NOTE: Mailorder sources are NOT the most reliable source of information about release dates for games. Games are often advertised in their catalogs, usually with preliminary screenshots, months before they are actually available. Also, the sales clerks generally have no idea when the game will be released. If they tell you it'll be available in "two weeks," that could mean two weeks, two months, or a year from next Tuesday. Local Mac User Groups are another source for games; often shareware and freeware games are distributed on disk at meetings or are available for downloading on their bulletin boards. Contact your local MUG for details. If you can't find a game anywhere else, you can always order it from the company directly.
