Does anyone know if there is a MAC version of DXBALL or DXBALL2.
My wife loves the game, and hogs my Pc to play it.
It owuld be nice to get her back on her PowerMac.IP: |

Mac users, phhhht
I'm 99% sure that there is currently no version of DX-Ball 2 for Macintoshes. The game was made for Direct-X, a Microsoft innovation. Your best bet is to get her a PC emulator and hope it works.------------------

The joke is that DX-Ball 2 barely touches direct-x and was designed with porting to the Mac in mind.....Just no time...Jim IP: |

The rest of the joke is: Dx-Ball was made for the Amiga computer first. It was called Megaball. (Megaball..(Ed + Al Mackey..GFX by Seumas McNally + Sarah Welch.. The author was Michael Welch..)) The Amiga computer and the Mac use the 68xxx series of Motorola computer chip. (NO INTEL inside) Therefore, a port to the Mac would of been easier then porting DX-Ball to the PC. Thanks to Seumas McNally, Megaball/DX-Ball, was ported to the PC IP: | |
