Tomb Raider 1 and 2 Coming to the Mac!
It's been confirmed by the MGL's Mike Dixon that both Tomb Raider 1 and 2 will be ported to the Mac:
"Yes, we are going to produce Tomb Raider I and II for the Mac. There's been so much demand for the games that we've finally decided to do something about it! "I think the likelihood is that we'll license the games to a Mac developer -- we have no [Mac programming] experience ourselves. We haven't signed a deal just yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I hear any more news. "We will be at E3, at the Eidos stand. I'm pretty sure that Eidos will be publishing the games."

You can expect more on this very hot topic next week when I finish moving

A Mac gamer recently posted the following which he claimed to have received from Tomb Raiders creators Core Design:
We will be producing a Mac version of both Tomb Raider I and II in the near future. Unfortunately, the plans have not yet been finalized so I can't tell you much about it at this stage. Keep an eye on the Eidos web sites / gaming press for updates. Regards,

I'm actively investigating this news right now...

Update: 1.5 of Sentinels of Ceth
HONOLULU, HAWAII - 23 April 1998 - Stick Man Games, Inc. today announced the availability of Sentinels of Ceth v1.5 for MacOS.

WHAT IS SENTINELS OF CETH?

Sentinels of Ceth is a fast paced arcade blaster. Use your ship to protect your Gems from being stolen. You will need a bit of planning to purchase the right equipment for the job. Brains and skill are the only requirements to play. Are you up to the challenge?

You are the Sentinel of Ceth. Your enemy, the Doltres race, wants to plunder the Ceth Temple and you are their only obstacle. Your task is to prevent the Doltres from stealing the 12 Gems of Ceth, the lifeblood of the temple.

As you destroy wave after wave of Doltres ships, the Goddess Ceth will bestow blessings upon you. These blessings can be spent at the Temple Gift Shop. The gift shop carries everything that a Sentinel could ask for (guided missiles, energy mines, engine upgrades, etc.).

Sentinels of Ceth is fast-paced and frenetic. If you blink, you die.

• Added tons of new graphical special effects.
• Threw in a cool sound track to drive the destruction.
