Dunno about Bullfrog, but FTL is ready to release Dungeon Master on the
IBM PC this Fall/Xmas, with a FREE DAC converter plug to give high-quality
sound, and a Mac version of Dungeon Master is close...
 
So what, you say...? Lots of companies port their software to other
machines..  Well, FTL is going to be developing *NEW* products exclusively
on the Mac...  
 
They like the ST, but what are you going to do when the "parent" company
of the hardware jerks the market around..
 
For me, this means I have to buy a Macintosh if I want to develop new games
with them, and contrary to what the cheerleaders around here think, I like
my ST better than anything else I've ever used... but "business is business"
