For those of you who have never heard of this Kairosoft-developed title, it lets you manage a game company as it attempts to create a million-selling game.
Players get to create said company's game console, develop an array of games (including "dance RPGs" and "ogre racing" titles, according to this hilarious Wired article), hire/fire employees and more--although not necessarily in that order, of course.
Anyway, it should go without saying that if Game Dev Story were available on the Mac App Store it would be sitting on my desktop already. Here's to hoping that happens sooner rather than later.

I'm so hoping that Game Dev Story will be released in a bigger, more complex computer version. If they'd make it somewhat like The Movies I'd ruin my favourite pants.
Oh, that sounds good to me! At this point, though, I'd take even a bare-bones port -- since I don't have access to an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch.
BTW, I believe I've read the game originated as a Japanese PC game -- which could make a Mac port easier, no?
One more thing, Balloonfigher -- I just started following your blog even though I don't know a lick of Swedish :) (Sorry, I didn't realize until now that you had a blog.) Are all of the illustrations on it yours? If so, great work!
Oh, I gotta find that original japanese PC game. If you can look at my pictures (yes, they're mine) maybe I could make something out of the japanese. And thanks! :)

Okay, perhaps it's a _bit_ too text heavy for one who doesn't know japanese.
Wow. I have to agree with you about the game *probably* being a bit too text-heavy for someone who doesn't know Japanese. Oh, well, like I said, maybe Kairosoft will somehow bring it to the Mac...
Well, you've sold me on that. I'm loving the Mac App store. It's a good thing I only have $20 to my name, currently. Keep us posted! I'll bet it's on its way.
Have you downloaded anything from the App Store yet, Justin? If so, which titles?
Oh, and you *know* I'll keep you posted on this one :)
Nothing exciting yet. I downloaded some free software for idea mapping, but that's it. I'm way poor, at the moment.
Sorry to hear you're poor at the moment :( Hopefully things improve soon.
