The Hoyle label, Sierra publishes Hoyle Card Games, Hoyle Casino, and Hoyle Word Games, to name just a few. Despite its parent company’s shortcomings in the eyes of hardcore Mac gamers, Sierra Attractions has published many general interest games on the Macintosh, even offering OS X support for a demo of their billiards title, “Maximum Pool.” Under Sierra Attractions is the casual gaming division of Sierra Online, a company maligned by Mac users in recent years for the cancellation of several high-profile Mac games.
