23-Apr-2004 • Gaming

The porting project seems to be taking longer than it did to create the original game, but Aspyr have almost completed moving "NightFire" to the Mac.

Today Aspyr announced the game that was originally released for PC, PS2, Xbox and GameCube back in November 2002, has gone into "Beta" for the Apple Mac.

The game was originally planned for release in October 2003, and slipped until January 2004 when "Alpha" status was announced back in November last year. The release date has now moved to May 2004.
