I just read that Aspyr is going to publish the Mac version of Sid Meyer’s Civilization 4. And, of course, Brad Oliver is doing the port. He did a very great Job porting SMAC and SMAX to OSX - so I am pretty certain this will be awesome! Since these days Brad has become some sort of my “personal hero” - he was working on SMAC/X bug fixes as well as a OSX version without it being his main job - aka spare time - or personal self development or so. He was also very good at answering emails as well; so, Brad, if you read this: Thank you so much - you have made a considerable time of those days a very good time to live in. I just hope SMAX will at least be recompiled to run on Intel Macs in th future - it is still the only game that I play these days, and has been so for quite some years now. (Side note: are there any games out there that can compete with SMAX??).
Good times ahead - even though the port won’t be done till beginning/mid 2006.
