freespace might have been cool but download time was 8 hours and it looked complicated. sketch fighter was cool but its not really free
Seriously, Cave Story is awesome. Who cares if a Japanese guy wrote it? You know that wildly popular game, Super Mario Brothers? I have news for you... a Japanese guy wrote that too! Same goes with a lot of games out there.

That's the only thing mac hasn't built up on yet as far as their creativity goes. many gamers only have a PC because of the lack of mac games.
Still gotta love mac.
