Your best bet for Macintosh games is to get stuff that was originally 
designed and implemented by Macintosh programmers to run specifically on 
the Macintosh--and was perhaps then ported to other systems.

Pardon my biases, but I think some good examples are:

Deja Vu
Uninvited
Shadowgate
Deja Vu II <--- I was the lead programmer on this one, hence the bias.

Balance of Power is also quite good--it was a Mac original, too.

The Mac version of Wizardry was well done, and Citadel is mildly buggy but 
has a pretty good interface too.

Just because I work for Apple Computer, Inc. doesn't mean that I believe 
what they believe, or vice-versa.
