Apple has had an advertising campain for business for a while now.  I
have been promised reviews for my game, Leprechaun, but everyone backed
out saying "We have to review xyz business Thingamajig" instead.

Oh, well, I suspect magazines are cutting their own throats.  Games are
important in the computer industry, and no machine is "NOT A GAME
MACHINE".  Certainly not the Mac.  It is one of the better game
machines around.  The graphics leave a little to be desired (much work
is needed even for color) but the interface is great.  How can it not
be a game machine?  Just look at Sim City, adventures, Leprechaun, and
various strategy games.

This is not to say it's not good for work, too.  I use filemaker, word
processors, layout, etc..., for business, and it is indispensable.

But after work, watch out!  Supermouse! :)

Any other game affiendos out there?  What do you think?
