Traditionally, the Apple "Mac" Macintosh computer has been known for desktop publishing, Photoshop, audio and video editing, networking, and high prices, not gaming. <ref>(In fact, Apple management for some time actively ''discouraged'' any attempts to turn the Mac into a gaming machine, because they envisioned it as a business tool and feared that gaming would add to the already somewhat whimsical image of the computer.)</ref> But despite this it ''has'' a gaming history, including a small number of original titles, most famously ''[[Myst (series)|Myst]]'' and ''[[Marathon Trilogy|Marathon]]''. Another ironic moment is that, due to being based on the popular Motorola 68000 CPU, widely used at the time in various video game platforms, the Mac had a long history as an authoring platform for console games in the eight-bit and 16-bit era.
