Mac Minigolf Mania
The Mac version of Minigolf Mania is now done. It will soon be available for download from the GarageGames site, but you can download it and start playing right now.
It was a relatively painless to create a Universal Binary build on the Mac. I updated to the latest version of OS X, got the latest version of Xcode, and set up my project settings to be just like TGE 1.4.2. The only change I had to make was to disable the Torque Memory Manager because of a problem on Intel Macs.
Minigolf Mania won second place in Game Tunnel's 2006 Sports Game of the Year awards. Game Tunnel is a fun site to read and they have an Indie Games Roundup every month.
Cheeseheads
I've been a 49er fan since back when John Brodie was their quaterback. Somehow my son has become a big Brett Favre/Packer fan. When they play each other we usually watch on tv, but last week the Packers played the 49ers in San Francisco so we drove over to watch the game. This was my first time back at Candlestick Park (now called Monster Park) since I saw Willie Mays play baseball there in the early 1970s.
Here was the view from our seats:
Final score Packers 30 - 49ers 19.
I've now watched four 49er-Packer games with my son and my team is 0-4. Where's Joe Montana when you need him?
Great Games Experiment
The Great Games Experiment site is starting to look nice. Check it out if you haven't already and get a GGE badge.

What was it you changed in the patch that "[made] the game a whole lot more fun"?

Atleast the 49ers aren't an emabarassment anymore. Trust me I know the feeling with me being a long term Bengals fan. 14 year drout of no playoff appearances is alot to deal with. ;)
