presents: "Kingpin- Life Of Crime" Screenshots
Posted: 7/06/99
KingPin Coming to the Mac? A reader post in my forum notes that Gangland.org's FAQ says that a Mac version for controversial (adult language and theme) version of the new Quake 2 engine based Kingpin - life of crime game is due out soon. [Update: - Based on reader/industry comments this apparently is not true so don't count on it.] You have the option to install a 'toned-down' version of the game for those that are offended by the language, etc. of the adult install.
Kingpin does things with the Quake 2 engine that many didn't think was possible, including 32-bit color, rain, sprite effects, environment mapping and more.
Here are some screenshots taken from a Voodoo3 3000 card running on a Pentium III 500 system. Clicking on the screens below loads a full 800x600 image; if they appear too dark on your monitor try the brighter PC gamma version links.

Note: there are some complaints on missing features from the game that were promised (some even on the box apparently) and some rumors of a split-up of the developer team but the Mac port possibilty is good news I think, at least for those gamers not offended by the game.
For other Mac game info - read the Daily Game News and Games Index page. For the best in Mac hardware upgrade reviews and daily news every day - see the front page.For those that are wondering about the 'Punisher' logo on this page, that was from my 'Casualties of War' Doom II levels page posted online back in 1995. Not much time for games in the last two years since starting this site so now I'd be more like 'the punished' in network play ;-).
