MacFun.com Launched by Freeverse, the Mac Game House, and Amy Torres

MacFun.com is the first casual game site devoted entirely to Mac users. According to MacFun, the site was created to provide a community where Mac gamers worldwide can find high-quality, highly entertaining, and highly addictive games for their Macs, all in one place. Offering an impressive range of family-friendly puzzle, strategy, word, arcade, and card games, MacFun.com offers downloadable fun for every taste, with an eye toward emerging Mac games.

As the name implies, MacFun.com is focused solely on the needs and interests of Mac users of every age and skill level. Offering the best casual games from the top developers, MacFun will be the destination of choice for quick, clever and affordable entertainment. Dozens of the best casual Mac games are available today on MacFun.com, with plans for a regular stream of new games to be added. In the coming weeks, MacFun.com will also be introducing community-building features.

MacFun is the brainchild of Freeverse, Inc., a New York City–based developer and publisher of Macintosh entertainment software since 1994, and Amy Torres, an Austin, Texas–based veteran of the Mac gaming industry.

"Our goal is to build MacFun into a great resource for the entire Mac community," says Amy Torres, editor-in-chief of MacFun. "Most other sites treat Mac users as an afterthought, if they consider them at all. But finally there is a place where they can trust that every game works on the Mac, where Safari is the browser of choice, and where the support staff--editor, webmaster, and everyone else--are all Mac users themselves."

In addition, MacFun is providing Mac development services for third-party and original casual games, a unique Mac-specific DRM solution for license, and distribution opportunities for independent developers. [Bill Fox]
