(UPDATE2: July 31: Or YES, finally yes! Aspyr has released the Mac version of Beyond the Sword. See my blog post here.)
(UPDATE May 17: Or not — As a commenter points out below, Aspyr has taken down the promo page and replaced it with the depressing text: Requested product does not exist. Alas…)
Its been almost two years since 2K Games issued the third and final expansion pack, Beyond the Sword, for Sid Meier’s Civilization IV game. But in all that time, we’ve only seen a Windows version. I complained bitterly about the lack of a Mac version last May, you may recall.
Now, according to the CivFanatics blog, there may finally be a version of the Beyond the Sword expansion pack for Macs. Check out this promo page on Aspyr’s web site. No release date is mentioned and there’s no box cover or other art (the picture above is of the Windows version).
If it really does come out, maybe I can get rid of my Bootcamp partition. Pretty much the only reason I ever boot into Windows is to play Civ IV:BTS. After all, VMWare’s Fusion can take care of almost all my Windows needs and that Bootcamp Vista installation is taking up valuable space on my hard drive.
