Does anybody know if Black & White will be released for the Mac? And if so, when? I've been reading/talking to people about the game and it sounds absolutely incredible! I want it!

Thanks,
Matt

Hey, I know this guy who is raving about the game but he can't explain exactly what it is like. Can you inlighten me?

It's literally a god game, do Good, do Evil. The man who developed it also developed Populous, if anyone remembers that. (Lord, that dates a bit...).

Anyway, to the links! http://www.bwgame.com http://www.zdnet.com/gamespot/filter...914356,00.html

I'm pretty sure it's coming to the Mac. Search IMG for news related to it.

Here is what I've found about the game: (mostly taken from the inside mac games boards)

Elegant Chaos hints to a "monochromatic" game that they are working on porting...
Elegant Chaos (http://www.elegantchaos.com/top/news.html)

Also, Feral, a European distributor talks about a "monochromatic" game as well
Feral Interactive(http://www.feral.co.uk)

Also, one poster on the IMG boards says that they have been accepted as a beta tester for the Elegant Chaos port but they haven't recieved any information as to when.

I, like everyone else, can't wait to get my hands on this game. Luckily, I've got some big games I've still got to finish so I can wait for a little bit. (Oni, Deus Ex(been working on this one for a while), Diablo 2, and I just ordered Monkey Island) And right now I'm deep in the bowels of OSX working on some cool OpenGL stuff. So I can wait. But I don't want to.

Howdy All,

Someones set up a B&W for Mac site at: http://homepage.mac.com/macblackandwhite

Here's his press release: http://www.macgamer.com/ubb/Forum11/HTML/001005.html

It looks like it could be a really good source for information.

Black and white is good...I play it on my secondary computer (gaming pc) and it is a fun, albeit time consuming game.

You'll really need at least a GF2mx to run it decently though...
