Yep, Telltale is making Mac games. See you at MacWorld!

Posted by David E

February 11, 2010

The rumors are true. We're bringing our awesome games library to Macintosh Computers everywhere. We're massively excited to announce that the Mac version of Tales of Monkey Island is available now! Yeah, right now! Go get it already!

Power to the People

Over the next two weeks, we'll be letting you fine folks decide our next step. On our Mac Games page, you'll be able to vote on which game in our catalog we should release next on Mac! Choose between Sam & Max, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, or Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures between now and midnight Pacific Time on February 21st.

Make your voice heard over at telltalegames.com/macgames, then spread the word! One lucky voter will make it into the credits of the winning Mac game!

Bought it from us already? You now own the Mac version, too.

Important (and entirely non-lame) fact: If you've already purchased one of our games from our website for PC, you'll be able to download the Mac version of that game once it's available at no extra cost. It's already in your account! Just head over to your games list and click the Mac download button. At present, only Monkey Island is available, but as we roll out our other titles, you'll be able to play them without having to re-buy. You're welcome!

We're off to MacWorld!

Are you headed to the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco? Telltale will be there, stationed at booth #786 from February 11th through the 13th. We'll be hanging out, selling stuff, and demoing Tales of Monkey Island. Stop by and say hi!

	i love you telltale. thank you for not making me buy my games again, though i certainly would have :-)
	Comment by V_Ben February 11, 2010, 11:38 am

	Hey, telltale! In the Mac page there the last poll and no the one about the next game! Better go and fix it fast!
	Comment by GinnyN February 11, 2010, 11:39 am

	Haha, thanks Ginny. That's fixed now.
	Comment by David E February 11, 2010, 11:43 am

	Not only have you made my day, you've also allowed me to free up 100GB of space on my Mac. Bye bye Windows partition and virtual machine, hello Telltale Games!
	Comment by bobmarleypeople February 11, 2010, 11:46 am

	Great, this will make some friends very, very happy indeed. I wonder if the third Sam & Max season will be available on Mac at the same time as the PC episodes ship... On another note, I don't think the link to the press release works. It also doesn't show up on your list of other press releases.
	Comment by Tjibbbe February 11, 2010, 11:46 am

	Hey world! I'm on a PC. I'll give my vote to any game. Which should it be, though?
	Comment by Weeblerjake February 11, 2010, 11:49 am

	On another note, I don't think the link to the press release works. It also doesn't show up on your list of other press releases. Whoops, I guess that's not live yet; removing. ¬¬

	You should release Bone 3 to...everybody!!!!

	Mac? Never heard of it.
	Comment by Guybrush Threepwood February 11, 2010, 11:52 am

	I would also like to add that those posters are genius. I would pay money to be able to hang that Sam & Max-poster on my door.
	Comment by Tjibbbe February 11, 2010, 11:54 am

	By the way, do you have wallpaper versions of those posters? Please? Pretty please with mashmellows?

	Comment by Sura February 11, 2010, 11:55 am

	Sweeet! It's about time you released your games for a real OS. I still use Ubuntu most though, so how about a linux port? :P
	Comment by DarthBo February 11, 2010, 11:58 am

	Amazing! What about the DVDs now? Only Windows executables on existing DVDs and Windows+Mac in forthcoming DVDs?
	Comment by RodiX February 11, 2010, 11:59 am

	Bear-hugs Telltale Games
	Comment by Niterain February 11, 2010, 12:10 pm

	Amazing! What about the DVDs now? Only Windows executables on existing DVDs and Windows+Mac in forthcoming DVDs? The plan right now is to have Windows+Mac on the DVD.

	Telltale, will you marry me?

	Comment by jugga February 11, 2010, 12:35 pm

	Wait a minute... is that Earl Boen's voice in the Launch of the Screaming Narwhal intro? Thank you Telltale! I love you guys (and gals)!
	Comment by Macfly77 February 11, 2010, 12:39 pm

	This is amazing. I mean, I'm not a Mac owner or anything, but I think it's great that you're allowing people to own both the PC and Mac versions for a single price!
	Comment by Molokov February 11, 2010, 1:23 pm

	Ewww,,,,,Macs....
	Comment by Fury February 11, 2010, 1:25 pm

	HOLY CRAP THIS IS AWESOME! I've been playing these things on Parallels, and I'm glad I don't have to anymore. Downloading stuff now!
	Comment by Alanshutko February 11, 2010, 1:32 pm

	"Mac? Never heard of it." Yeah, you have...I was playing an enhanced version of you on my Mac in 1992. Made my PC-using friends jealous.
	Comment by Moof February 11, 2010, 1:48 pm

	I must give it as a gift to a Mac user. No discount?
	Comment by animad February 11, 2010, 1:54 pm

	Telltale, you've outdone yourselves. It's really generous of you to include the Mac versions along with the PC ones too! I shall try downloading Mac TOMI right away. Thanks!! :)
	Comment by Scrawffler February 11, 2010, 2:25 pm

	Awesometacular announcement! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Gotta ask though... does the Mac version of Narwhal have Earl Boen doing LeChuck? Because that would make this news even better!!!
	Comment by JohnnyDelirious February 11, 2010, 2:29 pm

	WOW THIS IS AMAZING! I can finally play games on my mac without rebooting on windows!
	Comment by dzamir February 11, 2010, 2:32 pm

	Gotta ask though... does the Mac version of Narwhal have Earl Boen doing LeChuck? Yep!
	Comment by David E February 11, 2010, 2:35 pm

	THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You ROCK!
	Comment by jaingaurav February 11, 2010, 2:37 pm

	What about if you have it for Wii? Have to re-buy or not?
	Comment by HOLY CRAP! February 11, 2010, 2:43 pm

	Does the PC version have Earl Boen Lechuck also then? Like has it also been updated?
	Comment by Fury February 11, 2010, 3:00 pm

	To Fury: Not at this time. This is what Will posted on the forums earlier today. "Don't worry PC fans, you will be getting your taste of Boeny 101 in the near future. We just didn't have the bandwidth to build these in time for Macworld AND get the PC versions updated."
	Comment by Macfly77 February 11, 2010, 3:06 pm

	I have the sneaking suspision that Telltale Games is doing this just so they can go to MacWorld. And McDonalds.
	Comment by candyman106 February 11, 2010, 3:41 pm

	Thank you very much, Telltale. Not only does this run MUCH better on my Mac than through Boot Camp, I now have Earl Boen LeChuck and you have also fixed the first episode's logo to be concept art Guybrush. Thank you.
	Comment by AlmostApollo February 11, 2010, 3:41 pm

	Im not a Mac person but it's very nice that you listen to the fans.
	Comment by Marty February 11, 2010, 3:53 pm

	Eeeee!! I'm going to go get on all my Mac-y friends to try Telltale games, now! They have no more excuses!
	Comment by Nimeni February 11, 2010, 3:58 pm

	YEAHHHH!!! THIS is really AWESOME!! Thank you, Telltale! By now I will play the complete season again!!!
	Comment by skitty85 February 11, 2010, 4:13 pm

	Awesome, even though I don't use a Mac I always appreciate software that runs on both (I am looking at you, Blizzard... and now TTG!).
	Comment by Derwin February 11, 2010, 4:16 pm

	THANK YOU TELLTALE! Oh - and letting us guys who bought the PC version now play it on our Macs? ...Totally awesome.
	Comment by scum February 11, 2010, 7:05 pm

	Now lets leverage the new OpenGL engine for a few Linux ports, eh?
	Comment by Ender February 11, 2010, 7:54 pm

	THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! Thank You!!!
	Comment by Grandpa Bob February 11, 2010, 11:42 pm

	This is all great news, but when are you gonna 'bring it' to the PS3/PSN?
	Comment by taurus82 February 12, 2010, 1:10 am

	Thanks guys, You're the greatest! Now I don't have to boot to Windows, nor buy Windows (been using 7 RC so far), nor use the damn Windows, AND I can free my HDD space! Bye bye Windows :)
	Comment by Macco February 12, 2010, 2:00 am

	Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Do Linux next!
	Comment by behe101 February 12, 2010, 3:24 am

	That's what I call customer service. People that have already bought the product can download the Mac version for free. It's good that these popular games can be played on the Mac as well. Congrats for that!
	Comment by F. Hanfsamen February 12, 2010, 4:32 am

	Thanks very much! Especially that existing users don't have to re-buy their games for Mac is very cool. One less reason to have Windows installed. Now, if you would bring out a Linux version, that'd be soo awesome :)
	Comment by thp February 12, 2010, 5:54 am

	Most game developers, if not ,all game developers make games for pc and as they get bigger and better, they start to go to consoles and abandone the pc. It's a nice thing to see mac and other systems getting games, but i'm worried pc is going to be left behind again, although it would be difficult to imagine how point and click could ever leave the pc, but there you go.
	Comment by Hee Ho Ho February 12, 2010, 5:58 am

	Thank you thank you THANK YOU Telltale games!!! :)
	Comment by Styster February 12, 2010, 7:57 am

	does this mean it'll work with ipod touch? i don't follow the apple's so i donn't know how they work but i do own an ipod touch.
	Comment by Hee Ho Ho February 12, 2010, 8:11 am

	... what if I bought them all for the Wii? =(
	Comment by Frown February 12, 2010, 8:21 am

	Awesome! My poor Mac's been game-free since purchase. I bought it for work, not games, but who better to break that cycle than our beloved Telltale! Rock, Rock On!
	Comment by Vake Xeacons February 12, 2010, 8:27 am

	WOOOOOOOT! Thank you Telltale!
	Comment by m0nk3y80y February 12, 2010, 8:29 am

	Bought it from us already? You now own the Mac version, too. I tottally love you, telltale!(don't tell my gf) Wooooo
	Comment by Josejulio February 12, 2010, 8:39 am

	Is the "The Secret of Monkey Island: Special edition" ever going to be available as a Mac version ?
	Comment by Antonis Morphopoulos February 12, 2010, 9:09 am

	I know everyone has already said this but thank you so much for not making mac people have to purchase it again if they already bought the windows version. Seriously, thank you. I might even repurchase my dvd versions if they get the mac option too. Putting windows and mac on the same dvd would be super awesome cool!
	Comment by madcartoonist February 12, 2010, 9:47 am

	Giiiieev Linux Client. Seriously. A Linux client would be sweet. I could finally buy and play the latest episode of Monkey Island.
	Comment by Chakaron Makaron February 12, 2010, 10:53 am

	This is joyous news!
	Comment by McGoiter February 12, 2010, 12:38 pm

	Thank you for not making it a separate purchase!
	Comment by Mysterysheep February 12, 2010, 1:34 pm

	Telltale games you are my new best friend. you guys rock. seriously. I just hope sam and max isnt the winner so I don't lose a Crossover purpose again.
	Comment by Remolay February 12, 2010, 4:09 pm

	does this mean it'll work with ipod touch? No, it's practically a different system. Is the "The Secret of Monkey Island: Special edition" ever going to be available as a Mac version ? Probably not. That game has nothing to do with Telltale, it's all LucasArts.
	Comment by Macco February 12, 2010, 4:17 pm

	Please bring Strong Bad to the Mac soon! He belongs there.
	Comment by MPH February 13, 2010, 7:57 pm

	I LOVE you, Telltale! Of course, now I'll be longing for an iPad version. ;)
	Comment by BlueBerryBeard February 14, 2010, 1:28 am

	Linux version, please! Hopefully it will be easy to convert the Mac port. Point-n-click and linux users are a perfect match!
	Comment by Stefan February 14, 2010, 3:26 am

	Now that is truly brilliant! And the Mac versions for free for those who purchased already ? Excellence! I was about to wave about the credit card again.. Telltale, I applaud you
	Comment by Tim February 14, 2010, 8:40 am

	Bought the entire Monkey Island the minute I read about. Awesome returning to my childhood!
	Comment by SysElim February 14, 2010, 9:55 am

	I have nothing but pure love for you!
	Comment by PJFry February 14, 2010, 3:25 pm

	Great news :-) Now that you probably have a well written & portable engine, would you maybe consider making Linux ports as well ? (to make it simple for you, you could just focus on the most popular distro, maybe - Ubuntu packages ?) :-)
	Comment by T_____U February 15, 2010, 1:17 am

	Fantastic! Really nice to see some native Mac games. Keep up the good work!
	Comment by Gringlas February 15, 2010, 1:31 am

	I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! I have bought every Sam & Max release as well as Monkey Island, but I get to play them so rarely, because of the hazzle of dual booting (hate Windows). Now I can finally complete the lates Monkey Island series without restoring my recently deleted Win installation!! I'm so happy! :-D
	Comment by Buffer February 15, 2010, 4:52 am

	so awesome, plus get sam and max over. adventure games back on the mac.. so grand.
	Comment by christian February 15, 2010, 5:00 am

	Guys guys GUYS! That sounds great. My hope is, if there is an port to a Mac system, it is easier to create a port for linux systems so it is possible to play without an emulator or stuff like that. That would be fantastic! Seriously, i would pay for this game if its newly realised for linux. Please think about it. And... do you guys know "Toons Truck"? THAT would be a very great port! Greetings from Germany, Col. Sgt. Rian
	Comment by Sgt. Rian February 16, 2010, 10:06 pm

	Hi, will there also be a linux port of the game? This would be great! Kind regards, Florian
	Comment by Florian February 17, 2010, 3:48 am

	Hi, I wish also a linux port greetings from Germany krebsi83
	Comment by krebsi83 February 17, 2010, 4:31 am

	Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! I LOVE TELLTALE!
	Comment by ChrisLaughlin February 17, 2010, 8:19 am

	Dont forget the linux port! Regards, Mike
	Comment by Mike February 17, 2010, 9:23 am

	Good news. Now also port to Linux, please.
	Comment by Nath February 17, 2010, 10:19 am

	we miss a penguin .... at your supported platforms :)
	Comment by kingron February 18, 2010, 12:03 am

	This is GREAT NEWS!!! I Have been waiting for Tales of MI to make its way to Xbox Live or PSN, but a Mac port is just as good, or even better! :D As long as I don't have to dig up my old and crappy PC I'm fine! :D I just played through the demo and now I'm of course getting the whole thing! Thank you so much!!! :D
	Comment by myhrik February 18, 2010, 1:10 am

	Linux Port would be great!
	Comment by Adrian February 19, 2010, 3:45 am

	Hey, when you create a Mac Port, you can also create a Linux Port, or? ^^ Ok, you created games for Wii, so you can! ;)
	Comment by Anzeige February 20, 2010, 8:47 am

	When you created Mac and Wii Software, it shouldn't be so difficult to make a Linux Port. I've seen in the Forum, you uses on Mac Technology that is also usable on Linux and when you created a Wii Version (which is also a Linux System), it shouldn't difficult to make a nativley build for the biggest Linux Distros (Ubuntu/Debian, SUSE, Fedora, Mandriva, ... ).
	Comment by morla February 20, 2010, 8:55 am

	Nice, and now a linux port!
	Comment by CTS February 20, 2010, 1:15 pm

	Yeah, a Linux Port would kick ass!! I'd love to play some great (new) adventures without wine! ;-)
	Comment by Nuwanda February 21, 2010, 11:37 pm

	A Mac port is good, but a LINUX port would be great!!
	Comment by Camper February 25, 2010, 3:33 pm

	I vote for a linux port, too.
	Comment by con February 26, 2010, 3:53 am

	I would definitly buy the game if there would be a Linux port!
	Comment by grmpf February 27, 2010, 12:37 pm

	This is awesome. Hopefully other companies will follow as well. Well done.
	Comment by gnorp March 5, 2010, 9:17 pm

	I would love to buy a Linux version......
	Comment by Michael March 7, 2010, 8:33 am

	I dunno what's more awesome, the fact that you're making Mac versions of your games, or that those of us who choked and bought the PC versions don't have to re-buy 'em to play on a proper computer ;) Seriously froody, you guys. A total class act.
	Comment by Just Kelly March 9, 2010, 8:16 pm

	Bought both Sam and Max Sessons + the monkey island. It always was a pain to get it running. Now you are showing that it is possible to support something else than Windows. Now please make also a Linux port... because you have buyers using 100% linux and I am really losing my interest in supporting developers that are not providing what I actually want... Linux support. So please do not forget us!
