Macintosh Games release listing - Complete List (Long)

Here's this weeks list


Keep in mind that if you're in the industry or "in-the-know" about certain
upcoming releases, YOU can contribute GREATLY to this listing.  Please 
Email me at scottb@netcom.netcom.com if you have additional information that
you see may be useful to this list.  I'm basically looking for HARD FACTs or 
GOOD rumor. (Corrections also apprieciated) 

Most of the listings here have had some sort of print to some degree. 
(i.e. Magazine, Software release listing, Sneak previews, etc.)

		!Take the release dates with a grain of salt! 

I've been tracking games for some time. If there's one thing to be learned 
in tracking software releases, that would be that they almost always slip...
sometimes for YEARS (literally)

Many thanks to those who have contributed, and continue to do so...
