WarBirds III Now For Mac OS X, Too
I
Entertainment Network announced its award-winning flight simulation
game, WarBirds III, is now available for Mac OS X. Featuring fast
3D graphics and a system that accurately simulates the reality of
aerial dogfights, WarBirds III takes advantage of Mac OS X's power
and stability to provide a compelling multiplayer flight and ground
vehicle combat game.
WarBirds III can allow 1,000 players to play simultaneously around
the world. The goal is to build a community of online players and
have hundreds of player-organized squadrons. "WarBirds III
leverages Mac OS X's advanced capabilities to deliver faster frame
rate, smaller RAM footprint, and other special features," says JW
Stealey, CEO of I Entertainment Network. "Developing WarBirds III
for Mac OS X was so easy and exciting, all future versions of the
game will be for Mac OS X only."
"Mac OS X has integrated the most robust graphics technologies
available, making game development on the Mac easier and more
powerful than ever," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of
Worldwide Developer Relations.
"WarBirds III presents cutting-edge gameplay features, and we're
delighted to have it available for Mac OS X."
With its enhanced memory management, Mac OS X allows for larger and
more detailed terrain and landscapes. The combination of Mac OS X
and the Power Mac G4 delivers superior graphics that result in
smooth and fast frame rates. In addition, Mac OS X's protected
memory allows WarBirds III to be played in its own space without
the possibility of bringing down the system.
WarBirds III is I Entertainment Network's Award Winning "Simulation
of the Decade" where players from over 70 nations participate in
more than 400 worldwide Squadrons and fly over 50 simulated
aircraft in historical missions of World War II combat. WarBirds
III now includes aerial combat, land combat, and sea missions to
complete the "Virtual Battlefield" that has long been the dream of
most online game players.
