The word "port" comes to mind.  I'm not slamming Vette - I haven't seen it yet. 
But don't you just love :) how all the ported games seem not to even have icons
at all?  It's as though there's a programmer out there who is adept at porting
IBM==>Mac, but doesn't know how to use ResEdit.  Another pet peeve of mine are
games where there are all these extraneous files.  Falcon comes to mind
(although they got an icon on that one).  What is it Auto Duel that does that
too?  And Ancient Art of War.
Just griping.
