A bit personal history to this one:
I got the first version of "Leonardo The Inventor" (German version) by buying the German printed PC magazine "CD-ROM*TOP" by Trend Verlag (who also offered PC magazine "Bestseller Games" at that time), which hosted version 1.0, PC only. The magazine included an offer to buy "Leonardo The Inventor 2.0" cheap in price, and, what a surprise, this one included also a Mac version, which has been uploaded now.
