    I assume, that people are crazy and thus there have to be Mac nuts out there who held off on buying the games just because they're only into Mac?

    Great games. But I really dont think they need to be re-released yet again for another platform.

    Vice City is unplayable for me now. The lack of AA and the general ugliness of the character models is just unbearable. GTA III looks considerably better and is still quite fun to play. GTASA is just good old crazy fun.

    Those games are incredibly easy to run on a computer now, even GTA SA.  I remember back when SA came out, I was really impressed with the visuals, but now it looks ugly, and the character models look janky.  Before I got a better laptop, I'd play GTA SA and screw around, pissing off the gangs, causing random fights between gangs and cops, and riding the bike really fast into oncoming traffic.  But after playing GTA 4, you'll miss the crazy physics and car damage when you try to play the older games.  Remember, when you hit a pedestrian with a car, they just lay flat and fly through the air and come to a dead stop on the ground; it looks really bad.

    Could it have to do with a mission called Snappy Dresser? 
    (copied from Grand Theft Wiki)  
     

    "The mission begins with Ma Cipriani complaining to Toni that he never called and comparing him to Giovanni Casa, a delicatessen owner in Chinatown. Toni decides to prove to his mother how perverted Casa is and goes to his apartment in Saint Marks to pick up his camera.

    Toni drives to Casa's deli and sees him pick up two prostitutes (one called Mona Lott), and follows them as Casa drives to a secluded area at Callahan Point. Casa then  
     
    changes into a diaper  
     
    and begins to chase the startled prostitutes. Toni takes a picture of Casa, who realizes someone is watching and makes a quick escape.

    Toni goes to his mothers restaurant with photographic evidence of Casa's pervertedness and hoping to gain some approval from his mother. However, Toni is once again attacked, with his mother still adament that Casa is a good man, and a better man than Toni." 
     
    I knew I remembered there was a mission involving an adult wearing a diaper in one of the GTAs, but it turned out to be Liberty City Stories, not from III, VC or SA. 
     
    As for the teddy bears...? 
     
    Maybe thats a reference to Niko's cousin, Roman. 
    He was pretty hairy and he liked to dance.

    I love that Mac has suddenly become a gaming platform. I own a 360 and PS3 so can play all the big releases, but now Steam has hit Mac it means I can play all the cool Indy games as well, which is where it looks the market seems to be heading.

    Wouldn't mind playing through these again on my Mac, especially since I don't own them on PS2 anymore.

    Wait, these titles are good? I already have Torchlight and TF2 on my Mac, were you

    Yep.  Considering I don't play PC games anymore and mainly play on consoles...it's nice to have a Macbook Pro laptop I use for work.  I just picked up Starcraft 2 and it runs great.  But, of course, most people that just talk out of their ass don't know that.

    Nice to see them released on the Mac, but a bit too late for me to purchase.

    This is bizarre. Maybe they're trying to pad the Steam offerings? If it isn't too expensive, I'll be a sucker for it.

    There are probably enough people who played GTA III, Vice city, and SA as teens who are young adults with macs who will buy this. Look at games like pacman. There is a version for every platform. GTA III could be like that. In a few years we will be able to buy GTA III for our watch. Will it be playable? Probably not but that won't stop people from buying it. If I had a modern mac, I would buy theses.

    It could also be Rockstar are using these as a technology proof of concept, so that they can then develop and/or port future titles?

    If we want to game on a Mac we have to settle for games from 6 years ago?
