Write your own?  That's what my mom used to do when I was knee high to a
grass hopper.  I was talking to an assoc. prof. at school, and she writes
all sorts of games for her kids Mac.  Don't know what environment she used
for the Mac.  She is a real NeXT buf, but I don't think her kids' Mac is
new enough for OSX, and she's been writing them games for a long time.

But we should to $500 to $1k workstations, and once that's done, the
million dollar E10k version comes for free.
