Game development on the Macintosh
included titles such as Microsoft Flight Simulator and SimCity though
mostly games for the Mac were developed alongside games for other platforms.
A notable exception was Myst , developed on the Mac
The Apple Pippin - Bandai Pippin- was a multimedia player based on the
Power Mac and running a cut-down version of the Mac OS designed, among other
things, to play games.
Only a few companies have developed or continue to develop games for both
the Mac and Windows platforms. Notable examples of these are Aspyr, Blizzard
Entertainment, Brøderbund, Linden Lab, and Microsoft.
Among the Mac versions of popular Windows games that were developed in-house
are Diablo, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Myst, Second Life, Stubbs the Zombie
and World of Warcraft.
Among the most notable porting houses are Aspyr, Feral
Interactive, MacSoft Games, Red Marble Games, and MacPlay. Robosoft
Technologies, an India-based company, ports game-titles from Windows to Mac
on behalf of Feral. A popular Mac game was the Marathon series of first-person shooters.
Today, there are many companies both large and small
creating original games for the Macintosh; however, these tend to be
lower-budget "casual" games with simple graphics that are easy to pick up
and play in short bursts,
