Glide for life.
I'm curious as to what coding with Glide is like haha.

From what I remember it was a lot like a coding to a cut down version of what OpenGL was like at time. OpenGL has added a lot of improvements to stay competitive with Direct3D since then though.

Hogfather is driving the McLaren F1 in 2010 but pining for the days of riding a billy cart down the hill. :D

I was the king of the hill with my Voodoo2 SLI setup :(

A lot of things in OpenGL lagged - hardware buffering and shader support (Cg from nVidia)

Yeah, spot-on that neither OpenGL nor DirectX would be anywhere without the hardware OEMs vying for sales points.

EA has had full support for macs for a few years now

It's my understanding that they just have some sort of compatibility layer they use. They don't actually develop for Mac specifically.

If Spore is any example, then they probably just do Cider ports (emulates the Windows environment and runs the executable).

I wonder if this will prompt apple to lower their prices if more people will be buying the...... nah they'll just leave them at 3x the normal price & make even MORE money.

Yeah this is good for Mac users but it by no means means game designers are going to re-design/or even design their games for release on Mac anymore then they used to. Well maybe for the cheap entry game designers it might.

Personally im not a fan of Macs but i wish them all the best of luck in turning it into a competitive gaming machine, the hardware and softwares there they just need the compatible native games emulating PC games is never gonna be enough.

GPG are going to be developing for the Mac from now on apparently
