It's bad enough you are mocked, called a hippy, and have to tinker with extra software to get normal games to work. The fact Mac is hardly supported by any development company is lamented by thousands of latte drinking art students all over the world. Dry those tears! It only took a few years, but NCsoft did what many other companies wouldn't even bother with and we finally have a Mac port of City of Heroes.

SEATTLE, January 8, 2009—NCsoft®, the world's premier publisher and developer of massively multiplayer online games (MMOs), today announced the commercial launch of City of Heroes® for the Apple® Macintosh® across all NCsoft West consumer territories. Now the PC players and Mac players can live their comic-book dreams together, in the shared fictional world of Paragon City™ and the Rogue Isles™.

The game has been enabled for the Mac by TransGaming, Inc. (TSX-V: TNG), a leading developer of portability technologies for the electronic entertainment industry. Mac players can now purchase the digital-only Mac Special Edition of City of Heroes, from NCsoft's PlayNC® store and GameTreeOnline. The Mac Special Edition includes the client, thirty days of play time and a set of exclusive in-game items.

"Our community is excited that City of Heroes is coming to Mac," said Brian Clayton, executive producer of City of Heroes for NCsoft West. "We are thrilled to offer avid Mac fans the ability to play the most robust comic-book inspired MMO on the market."

In City of Heroes, players craft their own unique hero or villain identities and join millions of other player created characters in a constantly expanding universe. Unparalleled character customization is a hallmark of the City of Heroes franchise. Players can choose from hundreds of different powers and thousands of costume options, resulting in near limitless personalization. Players may go it alone or band together with others in super groups.
