As I reported earlier, Telltale Games is porting the majority of their games to OS X. As of this past week, Tales of Monkey Island has been released for the Mac. As a display of my solidarity, I have purchased the $34.95 bundle of all five episodes of the game. I want to support independent game development on Mac OS X. If you do too, head over, and BUY BUY BUY! Or, you know, you can try out the demo first if you want.
Each of the five episodes are downloaded and operated separately. Once you move the applications from the .dmg to the Applications folder on your Mac, it starts a splash window. Once you log in with your Telltale Games account (DRM, boo!), you can launch the game itself. I went straight into the options, and then changed the resolution to fit my monitor. Your milage may vary as it comes to default settings. So far, the game runs like a dream on my year-old MacBook Pro. As long as your Mac doesn’t use integrated graphics, you’re probably good to go!
Currently, they are holding a poll to see which game should be the next to be ported to Mac OS X. If my opinion holds any sway to you, please go vote for Sam & Max. I have been a huge fan of the freelance police since the days of Hit the Road. Trust me, you want to play this game. It is awesome.
What do you think? What game are you most excited about? Comment on this post or hit me up on Twitter.
