Hey, remember that "totally unconfirmed" report that stated Telltale would be bringing its whole catalog to the Mac and, furthermore, would be showing off Mac versions of its games at Macworld? You can slide that over to "totally confirmed" now, as Telltale has officially announced that it is indeed bringing its titles to Mac OS. The first game to hit the platform will be Tales of Monkey Island, which is actually available for the Mac right now. Telltale is currently asking fans to decide which game it releases next: Strong Bad, Sam & Max or Wallace and Gromit.
Perhaps the best part about it all: Telltale also announced that the Mac versions of its games will be free to anyone who already purchased the PC version. Presumably, that also means that those who buy the Mac version will have access to PC versions. Either way, it means a whole new audience for Telltale's games.
The company will be at Macworld this week, showcasing Tales of Monkey Island. Speaking of which, curious Mac gamers out there can grab the demo for Tales of Monkey Island at the Telltale website (and we suggest you do).

Sweet. I might get Monkey Island right now. Best of yet, I already bought all 5 Strong Bad episodes to use in Bootcamp. Now I won't have to.
Thanks Telltale!

Wow that's good news. Pretty cool of them.
I'll be honest and say I haven't picked up their games yet. I keep feeling like I should but there's always something else I get instead. Maybe I should go grab one now while it's on my mind.

Are these done with Cider, or are they true ports?

so with Haiti, it's their second charity in less than a month?

That is pretty impressive. To give everyone who has bought the PC version the Mac version for free. I hope they release Sam & Max next.

For anyone interested in their games, you missed out two free ones awhile back.
They gave out free copes of the last episode of the Strong Bad game a month or so ago, and a few weeks ago they gave a frew coupon to anyone who filled out a survery, for any of their games for free.

Hey, Telltale! How about you put your games on the PS3 first? Then we'll worry about what's on Mac and what's not.
Thanks,

Gotta love developers that support OSX. Personally, I don't have an mac and likely never will. but I have mad respect for a dev who's willing to port their game to a platform that's less than 10% of the pc userbace. Especially considering that the PC is already a small platform compared to the consoles now.
