Telltale Games

... and Earl Boen is the voice of LeChuck in the Launch of the Screaming Narwhal intro!
Plus, the downloads are free for those who bought the PC versions!
Check it out!

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.

Hey TTG I just installed the 4th part on my mac (I am using Bootcamp as well) I must say nice job, my 13 inch macbook pro with its NVidia 9400m graphics can run it in full settings.
One reason less to drop into bootcamp, thanks for giving us the mac version also if we already own the pc version.
Thanks a lot.

THANK YOU!

That is all.

Come on you little files, fly to me!

Tears of Joy!

I played Sam & Max 101-205 with my nephew on his PC, but we just haven't had time to play TOMI. Now I don't have to wait any longer!

Thanks very much, Telltale!

(I hope the reverse is true, that is, that I can download the Mac versions of Sam & Max, if/when available, for free since I have already paid for the PC versions.)

Awesome job, played the mac version and I can run it same settings as the PC version. Good job! Only annoying thing is that it resizes the windows on my screen, but I can live with that

That's not the reverse, that's exactly what he said.

You can go from PC -> Mac or Mac -> PC. It really doesn't matter in our system. You own a license, so we don't care how you play it.

Trenchfoot · 02/11/2010, 01:15 pm

Congratulations, Telltale! Is there any chance someone could upload a small video to hear Earl Boen's voice?

I apologise in advance is this isn't allowed.

Uzrname · 02/11/2010, 01:20 pm

Is there really that many Mac users that people are actually happy Tales got released for Macintosh?

How about Linux? =)

Footnote · 02/11/2010, 01:23 pm

Thank you, Telltale! You sure know how to earn and maintain customer loyalty!

That's by the way something I really admire, even though I am not a Mac user.

Fantastic news. I have a MacBook Pro and I have a Vista partition for my gaming needs, but now I have one more excuse to remain lazy and use my Mac. It will feel strange to game on the Mac.

Any word if the PC or Mac version of ToMI will run faster/slower on the same system. Essentially, is one version going to run better on the same system?

Thanks for being amazing.

They should run about the same, but on my MacBook Pro I can run the low power GPU (which I can't do under Windows), so the battery will last longer when playing, which is nice...

sascha23 · 02/11/2010, 01:44 pm

Kevin, thanks for the heads-up.

I support this stance wholeheartedly (and not just because I've been running Tales in CrossOver). If only more companies would do the same.

There's always Blizzard. Now, there's two of you guys. Telltale and Blizzard--I never thought I would use those two in the same sentence.

panfriedcharlie · 02/11/2010, 01:51 pm

Is this a custom port or a cider/wine-wrapped job?

Either way, thanks -- Telltale's the best, re-invigorating the development of new adventures and putting 'em on Macs.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

It's native. That was answered here for reference.

When trying to open up the first chapter, I get the message "You cannot use the application "MonkeyIsland101" with this version of Mac OS X." I looked at the system requirements, which says Mac OS X 10.4 or newer. I am currently running 10.4.11 on my machine. Is 10.4 a typo?
