Macplay Posting a hoax
Unfortunatly, we just received word form Interplay that the posting on the Macplay message board was a hoax and Macplay is not making anything new for the foreseeable future...

New Games from MacPlay?!
This sounds like a hoax, and we are trying to contact everyone we know over at Interplay to get a confirmation or denial. A user named "MacPlay" posted this to the MacPlay message board late yesterday:

Dear Mac Users,

We have watched the posts on here and are happy to say that we will release new games starting late October with Fallout 2.We are doing this due to the high sales of iMac systems which has rased Apple's market share to 13%. Remeber that we said 10% and we would stay. Again, we will be making new titles around late October - early November. Starting with Fallout 2. If there are any questions feel free to E-Mial us at: macplay@interplay.com

Thank You,
MacPlay

This looks a little too kosher to be true... As soon as we get a confirmation or denial you'll be the first to know!

Mac Carmageddon 2 Demo?

Carmageddon 2 for Mac With all the hustle and bustle of publishers preparing for the upcoming holiday season, this long ago announced title seems to be all but forgotten in the minds of Mac Gamers™. SCi's sequel to the successful original Carmageddon. Long time readers may remember that Carmageddon was one of the MGA's first major reviews. We recently learned that Carmageddon 2 for Mac was on track and scheduled for a November 4 release. Although a PC demo is available now, it is not known if a Mac demo exists. We are looking into it now...

Activision buys rights to Star Trek game license's
In a report yesterday, Activision had announced that it had bought the game licenses to all the Star Trek properties for a ten year period. Activision now owns the rights to any future game based on the Star Trek franchise.

What does this mean to Mac Gamers™? Well, previously some very Mac friendly publisher's had license to Star Trek properties, Micropose had the rights to The Next Generation, Interplay had the rights to the Original Series, and Simon & Schuster had the rights to Deep Space Nine. Although their respective contracts will continue (with no chance of rewnal obviously). Now, the decidly Mac unfriendly Activision holds the future of all Star Trek games on all platforms.
