Aspyr announced today that it will publish Sid Meier’s Civilization III: Complete for Macintosh, with an anticipated release in December. In addition, Aspyr also announced plans to publish Sid Meier’s Civilization IV for the Mac in early 2006. Mac users will be able to "take advantage of the entire Civilization III experience" in anticipation of next year’s Civilization IV. Civilization III: Complete includes the original game, Civilization III, plus both expansion packs, Conquests and Play the World. This bundle introduces Civilization III multiplayer capabilities to the Macintosh platform for the first time. Civilization III: Complete is rated "E" for "Everyone" and will soon be available for preorder through Aspyr's website.

Holy crap can you say behind the times, I remember playing this game in high school. What would really be nice is if they added multiplayer and updated the graphics a bit. A game this old should have absolutely no problems running on a G3 (at the time which was touted as a "super computer" in one of the Apple ads)

Blee,

It is multi-player: "Civilization III: Complete includes the original game, Civilization III, plus both expansion packs, Conquests and Play the World. "

Basically they just ported the two expansion packs. The game may be old, but it still fun as hell.

It's about time someone got on the ball with these games. I wonder why MasSoft gave up on the series though...
