Looks like these two are going to be good candidates for vaporware.  Spectrum
Holobyte, previously a mac games only company, seems to have just about
abandoned the mac for the IBM.  I can't say that I blame them (there's more
money to be had in ibm game sales).  I am disappointed that such a great
start led to the dismal end.  On the brighter side, I have seen a beta
version of vette for the mac...so it will come out.  On the flip side, when
it will come out is anyone's guess.

Harpoon...i've been waiting for this baby for about a year now...I don't have
any hopes if it comming out...even though they said they are making it (can't
remember who).

Along with the vaporware list are Populus (someone make this for the mac--please!!!) and Dungeon Master
