Mac Gaming Broadens With Cider
I have good news for Mac gamers. TransGaming Technologies recently introduced Cider, which will enable publishers to quickly bring PC games to the Mac. The conversion process used to be a messy ordeal, taking months. Now Cider takes care of the code conversion, which will eventually enable publishers to release a PC game and the cider-ized Mac version simultaneously.
This technology should change the face of Mac gaming. It’s slim pickin’s out there for us Mac users, and it is about time for our gaming libraries to open up beyond your standard adventure game and RTS.

Sounds like great news for mac users … now if only I hadn’t bought a G5 a year or so ago and held out for an Intel mac… blast.
However, it’s always been quite a good thing for me that my mac is relatively game free – I have enough in the way of console gaming.
Wait, does that mean that Macs are becoming more like PCs? OH THE IRONY…
