Aspyr update on Mactels


Aspyr Media on Monday released its August newsletter detailing its progress on Universal updates for its game titles and other details on upcoming games. To date, Aspyr has released four Universal out-of-the-box games and Universal patches for six additional titles. Today, Aspyr confirmed plans to release Universal patches for Civilization III Complete, Command and Conquer Generals (and expansion packs), Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, SimCity 4 (and expansion packs), and all releases of Star Wars Jedi Knights. There are other unannounced titles which are going to take longer to transition, according to the company newsletter. Aspyr released The Sims 2 Open for Business earlier today, and announced in this newsletter plans for two unannounced games in time for the holiday or start of next year; however, no details were offered about the games. "One of our goals for Mac development in the new world of Intel Macs is to ship more of our Mac games close to the release of the Windows versions, and we hope to have a couple good examples of this in the coming months," the company wrote in its monthly newsletter.

    This is good

    My #1 stipulation to buying mac games is that they are universal binary. I will not buy a mac game that is ppc only knowing full well I'll be on an intel mac soon enough. I'm glad Aspyr is sticking to their guns and not being discouraged by dual booting. IMO they will sell more games this way...

    They didn't say when they're going to release it, but at least SC4 is up for a Universal Patch. That's a change from before, when Aspyr wouldn't really say whether they were going to update SC4, and it "felt" like they wouldn't.
