Hey, remember MacSoft? I think I do, too. They were this kick-butt Mac gaming company, and then they fell in with the Destineer crowd, and then suddenly stopped hanging around with us. Well, they’re now back at the door, but is it with the Unreal Tournament 3 game they promised Mac gamers back in 2007? No. It’s with games you likely already have in your closet anyway. This month, MacSoft is bringing Scrabble, Monopoly Here & Now Edition, and Game of Life: Pathway to Success to the Mac as part of their Board Game Trio 2.

Scrabble

Play against one of eight challenging computer opponents or take on your friends and family in four different game modes. Innovative and helpful features like Best Play, Hints, and The Official Scrabble
Players Dictionary allow Scrabble fans of all skill levels to join in the fun.

Monopoly Here & Now Edition

Gone are the days of low rent and paltry fines. In the Monopoly Here & Now Edition, the cost of living just increased 10,000-fold—and so could your fortunes. So, grab your laptop token and jet around the
board getting ready to make your millions in the 21st century real estate market.

System requirements vary slightly, but to play all three games you’ll need a Macintosh computer with any G4/G5 or Intel processor and Mac OS X v10.4.11 or higher. The bundle will retail for $34.99, and should be shipping very soon. Look for it everywhere that Mac gamers can be found looking for the halcyon days of Mac gaming.
