Telltale Games

Champ'dout · 03/27/2008, 06:47 pm

I was wondering why doesn't telltale games make there games for the apple computers. I love the Sam & Max Games and i love mac computers. I went and bought a windows pc just so i could play them. i mean a mac is in my opinion the best made and most secure pc on the market and there compters keep getting better i mean they run windows vista better than a pc does. So why can't i get TellTale games made for a MAC!

Market size. I love macs but... "ibm-compatible" pcs are everywhere. Macs are nowhere to be found or in very little quantities (at work, we have 1 mac per 500 Wintel boxes = 2 macs*)
And now, macs are Intel too... (madness!)

But on the plus side, that means you can corrupt your mac with windows more easily (is that a good thing?) and play S&M (at least thats a good thing)

* In case boss is lurking here....: Of course we don't play at work... we are responsible employees (plus, the video cards are quite poor)

I love Macs (I am writing this post from a G5!). Many Telltale employees have Macs at home, and there are even a few secret Macs at work. Unfortunately, we're not rolling in programmers to do the legwork to get our games on Macs right now. Hopefully some day we will be awesome enough to have Mac games!

Wait... people actually play games on a Mac? Aren't you guys too busy making movies and stuff?

wisp · 03/28/2008, 05:09 am

of course no one plays games on macs...there aren't any.

Boot camp, n. 1. A place where soldiers are trained. 2. A Windows emulator for Macs.

That would be incorrect.

That's great compared to the crappy selection of games for Linux :P

Well... Sam&Max didn't work on a fresh build of wine or cedega, however besides the few great FPS games released for Linux, there are plenty that do work with the emulation.
Yes, indeed I tend to use Windows to play the latest releases...

If Telltale didn't use the silly launcher that is dependent on the browser, I am quite sure Sam&Max would work fine..

Sam and Max does work fine in Linux. http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/...ead.php?t=4544

Now the guys at Telltale need to make that HTML menu that they promised for this site to replace the current flash-based one that doesn't work properly.

Yeah, probably. I'm not familiar with Macs; that was just my understanding of Bootcamp's function.

Oh well... It doesn't work on my from-scratch-ish thing. I remember that I get the first window that supposed have "play" button or whatever... and thats about where it ended. It was such a long time ago (Season 1 episode 1?) that I don't remember the details. I will give it another shot sometime... Perhaps I need to build a fresh-er version of wine.
Whats the point of the launcher anyway?
