So it is them and Blizzard. Not even Ambrosia is doing simultaneous releases anymore (Aquaria was released for PC how long ago?)

From IMG, anyway.
A quick look thru their catalog also reveals far more PC titles that Mac titles- even (gasp) Shopping Marathon! eek Uki'll have to Boot Camp it.

(Not quite sure how "Stand o' Food 2" is an action game, but it's PC-only. Action games here; I'm not going to count, but there are more of those than the eight Mac-only games. At least you can haz Bubble Shooter and Bubble Snooker. smile)

I think Blizz is the last major.

These people have a deep fixation with food.


...having nothing in them of the feelings or principles of '76, now look to a single and splendid government of an aristocracy, founded on banking institutions and moneyed incorporations under the guise and cloak of their favored branches of manufactures, commerce and navigation, riding and ruling over the plundered ploughman and beggared yeomanry. -- TJ

To be fair, isn't Ambrosia simply doing the Mac port, since Aquaria was made by Bit-Blot?  Still, I agree that I wish it was out for Mac already.

Ambrosia seems to have been more of a publisher for small time games lately rather than a developer.
