Rockstar Games and TransGaming have announced Grand Theft Auto Trilogy for the Macintosh, a unique chance for Mac gamers to revisit the classic entries of the series, which include Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Ported to the Mac via TransGaming’s Cider, a technology that allows PC games to be enabled on Apple's Intel Macs, the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy is available via TransGaming's GameTreeMac.com Mac gaming portal for 30 days starting today.
The game is also available at retailers across Europe, Rockstar Games said. North American retailers are on track to receive shipments starting November 22.
As described by the people at Rockstar themselves, “Grand Theft Auto III introduced a 3-dimensional Liberty City and a completely open and interactive world, filled with hidden challenges and innovative 3D gameplay.”
The game was notorious for the immense map which offers players a scope and depth never before seen in similar video games.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City takes place in the 1980s, “complete with the era's unique fashion and classic pop music.”
The game puts players in the shoes of Tommy Vercetti, as he attempts to navigate the city's tropical environment rife with gangsters and other seedy citizens.
As for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the title introduced the largest map of the series seen to date.
San Andreas boasts three enormous cities while players take the role of Carl Johnson as he returns home to San Andreas after learning of the mysterious events surrounding a death in the family.
"The Grand Theft Auto series has been one of the most highly demanded titles by the Mac community. The availability of this incredible franchise on the Mac underscores TransGaming's role in transforming the overall Mac gaming market," commented Vikas Gupta, President & CEO of TransGaming.
"These games will be broadly available and will be a great catalyst to the increasing popularity of gaming on the Mac," Gupta added.
