Mac and PC users now able to do battle on InstantAction's site.
EUGENE, OREGON – October 2, 2008 – InstantAction, the website for gamers that combines the intensity of videogames with the accessibility of the web, announced the introduction of the InstantAction open beta for Mac OS X users. Mac gamers can register and play Rokkitball, Marble Blast Online, Think Tanks and the new FPS, Fallen Empire: Legions at http://www.instantaction.com/mac.
“Mac gamers have always been underserved by the games industry,” said Andy Yang, General Manager of InstantAction.com. “We plan to infuse the large Apple community with console quality games playable at work and at home through their laptops or desktops.”
InstantAction will also allow cross platform compatibility between Mac and PC users. Players from either operating system can join the same game and battle each other. InstantAction makes challenging friends as simple as instant messaging a link, taking all the complicated matchmaking out of the process. The site offers an entirely new way to “hang out” with friends by allowing you to take your party from game to game.
System requirements for InstantAction.com Mac Version are Mac OS X 10.4.11 (or later), Intel chipsets only. For Fallen Empire: Legions or Rokkitball, Mac OS X v10.5.4 and one of the following is required: GeForce™ 7 series, Geforce™ 8 series, Radeon™ HD series or Radeon™ X1900 series. Browsers supported are Safari 3 or Firefox 2 or later.
A recent closed beta tester, Sarvar Usmanov noted: “There aren't enough games that work on Macs and it's always good to see new ones, especially when they're this good."
