I just stumbled across the Universal Binary Games guide and I want to add info about my own games, so I created this account. I'll do posts with info about each game, then (since I'll have over 5 posts) I'll go edit the wiki with the new information. Hopefully this isn't something you're going to frown upon ;)

First up, Star Wars: KOTOR is listed twice on that page, once as just "Knights of the Old Republic" (which, of course, is what KOTOR stands for).

Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast.

Made by Aspyr (http://www.aspyr.com).

There seems to be no information about it possibly going Universal, and since Jedi Academy has already announced is going Universal but not Jedi Outcast, I expect this will stay ppc-only.

Master of Orion 3

Made by MacSoft (http://www.macsoftgames.com/)

Again, I can't find any information about Universal Binary. I'll probably email them to ask about all their games, but at the moment, the answer is No.

Ghost Recon: Desert Siege

Made by Aspyr (http://www.aspyr.com/)

Again, no information indicating a Universal Binary is in the works. I'll probably fire off an email to Aspyr as well about their games.

Tron 2.0

Made by MacPlay (http://www.macplay.com/)

No information about Universal Binaries available here either.

Note: Runs choppy under Rosetta even at lowest graphics settings

Close Combat: First To Fight

Made by MacSoft (http://www.macsoftgames.com)

Universal Binary release is planned, but most likely a few months off.

Black & White

Made by Feral Interactive (http://www.feral.co.uk/)

No information here either.

Sacrifice

Made by MacPlay (http://www.macplay.com)

Again, no information.

Darwinia

Published by Ambrosia Software (http://www.ambrosiasw.com)

Universal Binary support is in the works. A month ago a forum post (http://forums.introversion.co.uk/darwinia/viewtopic.php?t=3137&highlight=universal+binary) was made asking for beta testers for said Universal Binary.

Halo

Already on the list, but here's a note about performance: Slow in the menus, but playable under Rosetta

Universal Binary release is planned, but most likely a few months off.

kballard: Serial posting is indeed frowned upon. You will need at least 5 posts about separate topics. Stick around a few days and talk to us in other threads and that won't be a problem.

Oh well. Could someone who already has 5 posts update the guide with this information, then? I'm not all that big on tracking forums, but I guess I'll have to in order to post my information.

BTW, I just emailed several of the game publishers to see if I can get any information on planned Universal Binary releases.
