At this point, it looks as though you'll have to write Choplifter for
yourself.  I've never seen or heard of a Mac version of it, and I follow
the Mac game scene pretty closely.   If you write a good version, though,
you should be able to sell it fairly easily.

But if you're in the market for good Mac arcade games, I can point you
towards what is possibly the best arcade game of all time for ANY computer:
Silicon Beach Software's _Dark Castle_.  BUY THIS GAME.  Only $50 (maybe
less) from any good Mac mail-order house (I like MacConnection, phone: (800)
MAC-LISA).  Incredible graphics, exquisite sound.  You haven't seen the
Mac in action until you've seen this game.

SBS has just come out with two more games, _Beyond Dark Castle_ and
_Apache Strike_.  These are reported to be excellent also, although I
haven't seen them.  I'm planning to buy them both as soon as I can get the
bux.

Good luck!
