I suppose you'd also be opposed to running A/UX on a Mac II - after all, I can go out an buy a small 32-bit computer just for that purpose [say a Sun3/60] Seriously, the Mac II is a _general purpose_ machine. Those of use who own one for personal use would like to have the ability to play games, preferably in color. After spending several thousand dollars on a Mac II system I see no reason why I should go out and shell out money for another system just to play games.
