When is the Mac version coming?
It seems like it ought to be a fairly easy port over to OSX, how long do we have to wait?

If you have a intel mac, and a copy of xp laing around, you can play it that way. It's what I do.

Dual booting is possible, but most people want to fire up a game and just play, instead of having to go to Windows. Also I can't spare the space on my HD for a seperate Windows partition to just to run a game that clocks in under 100MB, that just doesn't make sense. Would much rather be able to fire it up in OSX while at work and play a game then have to switch.
So lets see this thing soon!

Hi, I'm working on the Mac port from the Ambrosia side. If you want to keep tabs on how it's coming along, we've just opened a progress log on our upcoming page.

Stupid question, but this is going to be a Universal application, right?
SOLUTION! yay!
hey guys i have a mac too, and i was really bummed andi didnt want to wait to play cause i played this game before and i loved it so much! but wait, is there a way to play it without using boot camp and an expensive copy of windows xp...i think there is. its called CrossOver (google it). its a program for mac users that allows u to run .exe and other windows files. it runs defcon very smooth for me (and i have a 1.83ghz macbook). so if it can run it on mine it should work on urs. it currently comes with a 60 day trial with no credit wahetverness. and even when the trial is over ill still buy it. i dont need windows, screw it. i can run mac os x and windows apps all from my mac os x desktop. so get it quick! its a godsend
