It's once again time for the lists of best-selling Mac games and Mac game-related hardware from online Mac game reseller Mac-O-Rama. We furnish this list every week to help readers decide what's hot and what's not when it comes to Mac games.
This week, Activision's Quake 3 Arena makes its debut, predictably in the number one spot. Heroes of Might & Magic III slips back a notch to second place, which Star Wars Episode 1 Racer moves back up the list to third. Right behind it is another LucasArts offering, the budget-priced Star Wars X-Wing Collector's CD, and Tomb Raider 3 re-emerges on this week's, as well. Bookings for the as-yet-unreleased Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri make it the sixth best-selling title in Mac-O-Rama's catalog, and despite Unreal Tournament's delay in arriving in Mac-O-Rama's warehouse, people are still buying the game in droves.

There were no big surprises on the hardware list this week -- the Voodoo2 card designed to work with Rev A and B ("Bondi Blue"-colored) iMacs, the Game Wizard, continues its domination of the list, with its budget-priced cousin for Power Macs right behind it. New to this week's list is the Pro Pedals, CH Products' rudder pedal peripheral for flight sim enthusiasts.
