Simcity for Mac

Have EA finally realised that Cider and the 3rd party developers they apparently use are as useless as a chocolate teapot? It appears so with the release of Simcity:

SimCity Mac FAQ

A native version for OS X? Just like they used to provide us with with TS1 and TS2? Yeah!

Although this sounds a bit ominous –

“Mac fans will get a version worthy of their platform”

Judging by TS3 and their obvious disdain for Mac users it doesn’t bode too well. I’ll give it a go though. Always loved Simcity, the first time I played it was on an old Macintosh SE 😀 Did you know that Simcity was originally released on the Mac OS before the PC Platform?

 

Patch 1.47 – Poll

Has anyone actually experienced any of the bugs that this patch apparently fixes? I’m sure EA just make half of these glitches up in their patch notes in a bid to try and detract from the real bugs which they are incapable of fixing. Out of interest in others’ experience I created a little poll for you, my dear reader:

Thank you

To everyone who voted for me in The Mare’s Nest’s 2012 Awards – “The Aarin Memorial ‘Uh, you obviously don’t know who I am’ Nearly Famous Award for Upstart Of The Year 2012″ – Lol, too funny.

And to everyone who voted for me and AE getting rid of the little twat last year – “The Open Award For Anything Else Not Yet Mentioned 2012″ – thank you. There was something strangely satisfying about finally nailing him.

And thank you to The Mare’s Nest for the points. It’s re-sparked my interest in the game and I’m looking forward to doing a new build.

Oh, and the reason why I haven’t been Simming much over the last 9 months? Well, the 9 month timeframe should give you a clue 😉 I have my hands very full now with a certain new addition to my life which arrived a couple of weeks before Christmas. I’ve fallen in love again 🙂
