According to this interview, Telltale Games is actively working on porting their games to the Mac.

Dan Connors: I definitely think there's huge potential there and right now we're working on getting our content over to some more channels, over to new consoles and the Mac. And after that's done, we're going to be looking at handhelds. I think we have to consider the PSPgo for sure.


That means Sam & Max, Wallace & Gromit, Strongbad and Tales of Monkey Island (hopefully completely*) native for Macs, folks.

I think Cider is likely since the games already work fine with Cider and CrossOver.

Bleeding heck, it took them long enough!
Personally I would've expected this move a couple years back, before ports to 360 and/or PS3.

Fingers crossed that they bring the mac right up to speed in a very short time (despite the various engine updates that they'd need to code through), and get cracking with simultaneous releases.

Wonder if they'll support PPC or not. They're games aren't really all that intensive, so they could support PPC quite easily.
Polytetrafluoroethylene to my friends.

Cube - G4 1.7Ghz 7448 / 1.5Gb RAM / Samsung Spinpoint 250GB / Geforce 6200 256Mb

We won! Apple offer the 17" with a matte screen! Well... at a price...

This is simply the best news in Mac gaming for years. :D

Like some others, I've resorted to the Wii (Ware) versions of Telltale's games,
since I don't run Windows on my Macs.

Unfortunately, they're quite limited technically, especially Tales of Monkey Island.
So I'm really looking forward to this. Great, great stuff. :thumbsup:

cider version should not be bad at all, except for the PPC crowd.

I'm playing GOG.com's tex murphy series while I wait... (they run sweet in mac dosbox with very little conf editing).

I, on the other hand, am allowing myself to become giddy with excitement.

Even if they are ported with Cider the games aren't particularly demanding to begin with, I imagine even the very first intel iMacs would be capable of running them. As I recall, though, Vanbrio's Mac port of Bone: Out from Boneville ran on a G4 with 512MB of RAM. The engine has been expanded on since, but I can't imagine the difference is significant enough to rule out PPC processors as an option.
