Why Apple Should Port Games

Posted by Hemos on from the the-battle-continues-on-and-on-and-on-and-on dept.

DanTheMan writes "For every great game there is for Mac OS X, there are at least two for Windows. It's sad, but it's a fact. This article proposes a solution, and it's for Apple to port games. By the way, since the XBox 2 will use the PowerPC G5, it shouldn't be that difficult to port future XBox games to the Power Mac G5 and the iMac, both of which are 64-bit now. Would you buy a Mac if you could play Counterstrike Source and Half-Life 2? What other games are missing from Mac OS X?"

    Tribes2. Loki ported it to Linux. It was the best game I ever played. Sad to see it gone.

    Keymouse/Mouse combo is the ONLY way to properly play any first-person shooters. Ever play one of those trying to use a gamepad?? HA HA HA, good luck!

    The "A", "W", "D" and mouse-look-and-fire model rules!
