>Hardly anything is 'definitive' on it.
Mac ports of 320x200 games ran at 640x480, and sometimes added higher-resolution assets. Descent; Doom; Star Wars: Dark Forces; Star Wars: X-wing; Terminal Velocity; Wolfenstein 3D. (Also Alone in the Dark, but it has problems on later Macs.) Another World's best version is the modern one, but the Mac version is higher-res than the DOS one. Dark Forces got mouse look. Descent got CD music. Wizardry got a user-friendly interface. SimCity is Mac-first; I think the Windows Deluxe version is definitive, but it should run well under Virtual PC. Cyan's early games started on the Mac. The Colony is too fast on an iMac, but should run well under vMac. The Marathon 2 engine games are probably best on Mac. Not sure about the Civilization or Ultima Underworld series.

>Finally got non-DarkXL Dark Forces running properly without all of the frametime issues and audio crackling.
DOS, or the high-res, custom-soundfont Mac version?
