Casey Gatti kc@prorattafactor.com After a request to Apple to list "The Adventures of El Ballo" on their apple.com/games website, we received this reply...

Hi Casey,

Thanks for your interest in our Games site. We found that the subject matter of El Ballo (though mild) might not be appropriate for our audience.

The Games Team

I guess Apple prefers games where the user kills human beings, because it seems that "World War II Online: Battleground Europe" and "Close Combat: First to Fight" are listed on their site. Ouch... was that me being snippy ;-P

Of course, trouble pops up in the form of mean Dr. Cough who wants to subject the planet to a world-wide physical (and these puns are intentional).
