Is Ambrosia actively developing an Intel Version of Uplink?
Hello,
I was wondering if Ambrosia Software is actively working to develop an Intel Macintosh version of Uplink and if so, is there somewhere where we can see a progress report on this? Much thanks for your time.

Keep in mind that Ambrosia did not make Uplink, they only published it. The folks at Introversion would be the ones making an UB version, if anybody.
OK, I understand. I thought that Ambrosia had actually developed the Macintosh version, as opposed to simply publishing it. Thanks for the info.

No. The game was originally developed by Introversion Software, then ported to the Mac by Contraband, and, finally, published by ASW. Based upon cryptic comments made on the IV boards, I think it is possible that a universial binary may be released at some point, but IV are currently very busy with the upcoming release of Defcon, and, hopefully, another patch for Darwinia. In other words, I wouldn't hold my breath.

They are a small company, and they probably won't be able to support all of their old games forever. Especially with their whole "revolutionize the way people make great games" ideology, they really just keep pushing the envelope. It's tough to keep that up and then release endless new versions of old games.

Possibly, but IV released a patch for the Windows version of Uplink just last month. While they are interested in pushing the envelope, they are also interested in ensuring the best possible experience. As I said before, the best place to ask this question is probably the IV boards.
