[game_preservation] Gnop or Operation Desert Storm footage?

[Andrew Armstrong]

I guess those who might have Mac magazines could do scans of the games 
if they knew the release dates, although I am hopeless on magazines and 
what would have been around in the 90's for games on macs :)

That or actively searching any online magazine archives. I don't have 
any links to hand for Mac ones though!
