Mac Game poll online
Pfhreak's Game Page is conducting an online poll. Email the official Pfhreak's Game Page webmaster at <pfhreak333@geocities.com> with "Game Poll" as the subject. Send in
1. the name of your favorite game
2. your name (for record keeping purposes)
3. whether you would classify yourself as a "Mac Game Fanatic", a "Dedicated Mac Gamer", or a "Casual Mac Gamer", and
4. someplace that Pfhreak can go to find out more about the game (such as which genre it would belong under).
The Mac is THE platform for gaming, let's prove it by casting our votes for the all-time best Mac games. The more people vote the more proof there is of the numbers of people who want to see good Mac games.
The results of the poll tallies will be posted on Pfhreak's Game Page
