I classify Fool's Errand as the best computer game for the Mac, or
any other computer I've ever played.  Of course it's not an arcade
game, but it's far from silly -- it's challenging and *addictive*.
Its use of the Mac as a vehicle for a sort of mega-puzzle is
compelling.

Perhaps Mr. Rosenberg would be better served by buying a Nintendo
game system than by trying to shoehorn the Mac into a video arcade.
