10.5.6 – Apple go crazy with gaming news

Things have been a bit quiet on the old Mac gaming front of late. But here we go, Apple breaks the silence with 10.5.6, the latest iteration of their pretty-oh-so-pretty operating system.

Typically Apple are tight lipped about what they update. Honestly, if they could get away with it their update notes would simply list stuff. Today is no different: feast your eyes upon this, included in the latest support note for 10.5.6:

Graphics

  • Includes general improvements to gaming performance.
  • Includes graphics improvements for iChat, Cover Flow, Aperture, and iTunes.
  • Includes fixes for possible graphics distortion issues with certain ATI graphics cards.

Gaming. News. From. Apple.

This is as good as it gets, you hairy mothers. Now, let me fish out my BF2142 DVD and see if that old chestnut is actually playable.

My Mac Pro is now beckoning me to restart my machine to apply 10.5.6. If the screen goes blank and the third dimension drops away, something went wrong. Blame Apple.
