To be fair if you’re doing all your own UI it’s a bit easier. Porting a bunch of Win32 GUI to Carbon/Cocoa would be a big deal.
But I agree. I remember being impressed at seeing boxed Linux copies day one.
Yet today we can still wait YEARS for Mac ports of games, if we get them at all, even though they’re using a cross platform engine.
The Linux edition of Q3A also — remarkably — came in a collector's tin, which I severely regret not buying at the time.
That was the box that lasted the longest at my local computer store, long after almost all other boxed Linux software disappeared.
