Agreed.

We link to all games demos provided by the Humongous Entertainment FTP site, 
but not the Macintosh specific versions of the game demos.

The main issues with adding more game demos, is where to host the games 
demos, as mentioned already. I just emailed bgbennyboy again, to see if he 
can host more games demos on the mixnmojo web site. As the majority of our 
games demos are already hosted on that web site, and more have been added 
when requested in the past.
