There are a number of multi-player Appletalk games, the best of which (IMHO)
is NetTrek--The Real Version.  A head-to-head battle between Klingon,
Romulan, and Terran ships, each with different capabilities, across several
solar systems.  The "object" is to establish a base in each star system, but
it's a lot more fun to just run around shooting at each other.

NT-TRV is available from Premier Technology, and is $34 by mail order from
MacConnection.  (I have no affiliation with either of these places)
