    Other OpenEmu Lite - "Just works" emulator for 2D console games on OS X 10.7 – 10.9

    For as long as I've been a Mac user, there's one class of app I've never been able to find—a set of really good emulators for classic 2D game consoles like the NES and SNES. Most emulators consider Mac compatibility an afterthought, and it shows. The Mac version of RetroArch uses a confusing...

    What are current good adventure games on the Mac?

    I used to love the old Sierra and LucasArts games like The Dig, Full Throttle, King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, etc in the 1990s. Then I just stopped playing games for a super long time. I understand TellTale is (or was) making games like that. Does anyone have any recommendations for something...

    Universal How come Apple promotes Hello Neighbor and Among Us every week?

    The App Store home page used to be a good place to find new (to you) featured apps and tips. Now it seems there are "secrets" or "tips" for the games Hello Neighbor, Among Us, and Snapchat filters absolutely every single week. Is that a paid deal or something? Disappointing.

    What Emulators/Games Run Best on the G3?

    So I understand the G3's capabilities are... not particularly broad, especially relative to newer and faster PPC chips. That being said I am pretty uninformed when it comes to the plethora of software that both runs and has been optimized to run on the thing. Emulators in particular peak my...
