Why would Bungie develop a game solely for the Mac in the 90s?  No one gamed on Macs in the 90s and barely anyone does now.  Everyone went to PCs during the late 80s and 90s.  Back then it would take a game a year or more to port to Mac (if ever) because there was such a low install base. 

Is this facetious?  Bungie was a very prominent exception to this rule.  The first time Bungie demonstrated Halo publicly was at MacWorld Expo in 1999.  For pretty much the entire decade before that they were a Mac-first developer (Minotaur, Pathways into Darkness, Marathon).

I see.  I had no clue such a big name developer would be Mac only in the 90s when Apple was about to go belly up considering no one wanted their products anymore.  I could see a small developer trying to carve a niche out on Mac.  Perhaps back then Bungie was small.  Also, I don't really hold Halo in that high of regard.  I played better FPS shooters back then on ISDN when everyone was on dial up.  It was called Tribes.
