`NightFire` release date slips for Apple Mac - put back until January 2004

The last Bond game by Electronic Arts, "NightFire", has almost completed its port to the Apple Mac platform by software house Aspyr.

According to Aspyr, "NightFire"s Alpha project status on the Mac means that "at this stage, the game is still buggy but solid. There may be a few features that still need to be implemented, but programmers can usually pinpoint the major areas to fix."

The game has slipped from its planned release of 15th October 2003 and is now due to ship for the Mac in January 2004 for $39.99.

"NightFire" was originally released on PS2, Xbox and Gamecube in November 2002.
