There's gotta be a way to get to the desktop without quitting, right? This is the only piece of software I've installed on a mac that won't let me. Please someone, show me the light.

If you run it in a window, there's no problem. I have a number of other games that run full screen that won't let me hide them (and they're a lot harder to quit out of than Eschalon). Any program that takes over your full screen and removes the natural Apple menu bar and dock has a problem with hiding, in my experience.

Yes my experience too but a sad Mac only experience, it's extremely rare windows games make their players suffer such limitation.
For me at least Hide or Switch App should work with any application and for a game it should be paused at same time. It's a real nuisance games don't respect that but I agree that on Mac many ports don't respect it anymore.

Guess I don't play enough Mac games. Ahh well, guess I'm relegated to windowed mode.

Not as rare as you think. I've played many a Windows game that totally flips out when you try to task-switch.
"Switch me out for another application will you... well take this!!!" *crash*
