You can only get the Mac version of Supcom2 going through virtual programming and deliver2mac only. It will not be seen on the Mac steam side store.
I just spoke with Virtual Programming via twitter and they had to pull it temporary due to a steam issue.
Thanks Alphakline. Hopefully they'll solve the problem asap. I'm looking forward to playing the game.
Has anyone bought this game yet on the Mac?
Could you please open up the package and see if you find any of the following files: comctl32.dylib, comdlg32.dylib, common.dylib, d3d8.dylib,
d3d9.dylib, d3dx9.dylib, ddraw.dylib, dinput.dylib, dinput8.dylib,
dsound.dylib, gdi32.dylib, glu32.dylib, iphlpapi.dylib, kernel32.dylib,
msacm32.dylib, msvcrt.dylib, msvfw32.dylib, ole32.dylib, oleaut32.dylib,
opengl32.dylib, shell32.dylib, user32.dylib, version.dylib, winmm.dylib,
ws2_32.dylib, wsock32.dylib
Reason being, I just tried another game demo from Virtual Programming and they don't disclose anywhere that it in fact is Windows emulation using Cider or Wine and not a proper port at all!

Any API translation process makes it much less of a native game. "Windows" files are just packages, there are no dll's or ".exe" files. It's the engine code that matters.
Really glad VP ported this over. Loved TA all those years ago and am loving this game too.
I don't care too much that it's a bit buggy and crashes a lot. I'm just glad we got a real port. With any luck VP will fix the bugs that exist at the moment.
It is true that it's a little bit odd that you pay for the game over at deliver2mac and then everything else is handled by Steam, but again, I really don't care.
I also bought the DLC on steam just to see if it would work. I new get an "Enable DLC for multiplayer" tick box on the main menu so I guess it worked just fine... Still playing through the campaign so haven't tried MP or Skirmish yet to see if it really is there.
