Almost since its inception, the Mac has been the platform of gaming heartbreak. Games were available, but never as many as for the PC (or, if you want to go back far enough, the Commodore 64 and Apple II), seldom the choicest titles, and the good games that came out were rarely released at the same time as their PC counterparts. This has persisted even until recent years, with Macs still seen primarily as "serious" machines that have neither the time nor the computing cycles to spare on the kind of frivolity that has captivated so many PC users.
