Fantasoft has informed us that there is a minor update to their side-scroller Monkey Shines available at their web site. This patch is designed to counter a bug that resulted in crashes for a small number of users. Fantasoft is eager to hear feedback on this new update, so if you are a fan of this charming game, be sure to grab the patch and relate your experiences with it.

The Fantasoft web site itself has been revised and redesigned recently, and showcases their many Mac-friendly (and often Mac-only) products. Be sure and visit some of the other sections of the site and check out their current and future projects.

The Monkey Shines authors also wanted us to mention that they are preparing a demo for Monkey Shines II: Gorilla Warfare. This title just isn't a sequel to the original, it is a tremendous improvement, featuring 16-bit color, multiple-layer parallax scrolling and an included level editor for creating your own simian obstacle courses. The demo will be released as a public beta in the next few weeks.
