InsideMacGames.com, or IMG for short, is a web site dedicated to Apple Macintosh computer gaming. Founded in 1993, Inside Mac Games has transitioned from an electronic magazine into a web-only publication. As such, it is the largest and oldest Macintosh gaming publication, and is still operated by its founder, Tuncer Deniz.
History
The web site originally began as a downloadable magazine at AOL, with authors from AOL's Mac Games forum, with the first issue being published in February 1993. This first issue had a preview of Graphic Simulations' F/A-18 Hornet 1.0. The newsletter soon turned to distribution via floppy disk, and in 1995 via CD-ROM, which enabled the addition of extras on the disk. In 1996, Deniz left IMG to work for Bungie for nearly four years as a producer for titles such as Marathon 2 for Windows, Abuse, Weekend Warrior, and Marathon Infinity, netmap design for Marathon 2: Durandal, and a project leader for Myth II: Soulblighter. In 1999, Deniz returned to take the helm of IMG, which was now a Web site. In 2000, the CD-ROM distribution of the newsletter was dropped, although there still is an occasional games CD that is distributed to subscribers.
About IMG
IMG is generally acknowledged to be the leader in general Macintosh press specific to gaming by various game publishers. Deniz's personal relationships in the business has the benefit of garning frequent and detailed interview articles with industry insiders, such as a long-running interview series with Glenda Adams, director of development at Aspyr. The front portal page is a news site with good traffic, and the user forums are active with nearly 7000 members and over 100,000 posts as of January 2006.
IMG's Brother site's are MacGameFiles, or MGF, which is a download site for game-related files. MGF is a significant resource for Mac gamers seeking general downloads. MacGameStore where all mac games are available for purchase or download. Another site, Macologist, specializes in downloads for mods for Macintosh games.
Inside Mac Games used to be included as one of the default Safari bookmarks, but was dropped in Safari 3, possibly due to Apple's rumored hostility to gaming.
