This is because the Mac and Amiga release use the exact same base data as the DOS version.
I added Amiga detection entries for both the original release and the Update 5 version, since these can be identified via their language files. However, the Amiga CD (Update 5) and the Mac release use identical data files, so they cannot be distinguished this way.
Manually setting the platform to Mac may cause issues, as ScummVM must handle music (and some other systems) the same way it does for the DOS version.

After discussion, I'm going switch the game to use kPlatformUnknown and specify "Mac/Amiga" in the extras.
Assigning to myself.

@Eli0rZeR70, I've submitted a pull request that resolves this. Once it's merged it will be in the following daily build. I recommend removing the game from ScummVM and re-adding it.
It will now detect with unknown platform, but ScummVM will show 'Mac/Amiga(Update 5)' in the GUI.
