Yes. They really got my hopes up when a couple of weeks later I checked the apple website and found out that the info you gave me was actually TRUE!

Yeah, it was a releif to know that the pics were right... though it made me non-plussed when they were actually launched, which is too bad.

<-- Soon to get X.2

hi ,

lets hope that we get PTW from the start also

have a nice day

PTW?

[Gatekeeper]

FlameFlash:

Tsk, tsk. You call yourself a Civver!

"PTW" is "Play the World," which is the Civ III XP that will allow for MP while also adding eight new civilizations and some other refinements to the original Civ III.

I am hopeful PTW — along with 1.29 — will come to the Mac. If not ... hmm ... well, it'd be a sad day. For me and Apple Computer, 'cause my bucks might have to do the walking. Elsewhere.

Well, I don't call myself a CivIIIer yet...

*nods* I agree it would be bad, Gatekeeper. I wouldn't be surprised if, when sales are seen on the PTW XP side that PTW will come over to the Mac.

I'll continue to keep my fingers crossed, because MP is what I'm waiting for in that game... I hate buying a game only to find out that there are patches going to be released for it that will make it better and then find out there's something like Civ II: MPG...

Of course, that means I unfortunately have to hold out for a while...

hi ,

why on earth will they wait with 1.29 untill the release of PTW , ....

that sounds weird an unlogical , ..

have a nice day

Having played Civ 3 on emp fabs computer… I can't say I was even that impressed...

hi ,

ones you get to know its limitations , ...it can become a shock to civ2 players , ....

lets only hope that PTW is a real improved and advanced game !

have a nice day

"no one EVER EVER looks at this forum. I only post on it because I like to see my name under the "last post by: ____" thing up in the main forums page for a long while..."

That is so true, monolith!

[FlameFlash]

PTW isn't likely to come out on the Mac, is it?

On news though... anybody hear some G5 rumors? From the looks of things on the market, they're going to be 64-bit!

((And yes, I'm also just having fun with the new smilies...))

[Gatekeeper]

FlameFlash:

Have you heard anything about PtW coming to the Macintosh? All I've heard is that it isn't guaranteed right now, which pisses me off because Civ is the one game I'd like to be able to play *completely* on the Mac.

Would one still be able to play Civ II w/OS10.2? Is the Classic OS bundled in with the newest?

Gatekeeper

[FlameFlash]

That's what I've heard about PtW for Mac too...

It's so and that they're doing it... but supposedly, from how the article was written here at 'poly, PtW might not be compatible cross-platform thanks to some idea of using a Windows-based process to multiplay...

As far as Civ II w/OS 10.2... since I don't have OS X.2 I'm not sure... however I'm pretty sure it would work under Classic, though I think with X.2 you also now need to seperatly and previously owned OS 9, because I don't think it ships with X.2.

FlameFlash:

I don't have a copy of OS9.2 ... still using 8.5.1. So if I'd get a new Mac with 10.2 pre-installed, I'd have to hunt down a copy of 9.2 and then, I imagine, partition the HD just so I could play Civ II in the Classic mode.

And if we end up w/o the PtW XP and the 1.29 patch for Civ III ... well, it takes away one big reason for me to stay w/Apple. Heh. I'm one of those "consumer" types who could do just as well with a PC, but choose the Mac. Dadgummit, if TPTB fail to bring PtW and 1.29 over, it's not much for me (well, right now anyway) to drop $600 to $1600 for a PC and go that route instead. I've been told by other Mac enthusiasts that Dell Dimensions are pretty good.

Anyway, the whole thing is aggravating, IMHO.
