Thursday, November 11, 2004

Aspyr is an Austin based company founded in 1996 by loyal Apple fans who decided to do something about the dearth of quality games for the Macintosh.

With a name that represents their desire to build something great, to aim high, and to always drive toward the next challenge with total confidence, Aspyr has set itself apart as the world leader in Mac game publishing, owning 60 percent of the Macintosh entertainment market.

Aspyr continues to tirelessly pursue the best games, working with partners like Universal, Paramount, Warner Bros, LucasArts, Electronic Arts, Activision and Eidos, to bring brands like Harry Potter, The Sims, Madden NFL Football, Star Wars, Tony Hawk and Tomb Raider to the Macintosh platform, expanding each products’ worldwide consumer base by more than 20 million.

Aspyr expands the potential of each brand by creating passionate communities around each product experience.

Nestor Hernanedez and Glenda Adams of Aspyr will return for a third straight year with Roxie Garza to show us the latest top games for the Mac, and may even provide a sneak preview of what's coming in the near future.

It will be a great time to pick up awesome gifts for friends, family, or yourself at prices you won't believe!

Join the over 40,000 gamers who get first notice of new and upcoming releases from Aspyr by subscribing to their email newsletter.

We hope to see you at our November 11 meeting for a special demonstration of the magic Aspyr brings to the Macintosh, and share our pride in this Austin company which has grown to become a leader in the world of computer gaming.
