Mac Source Ports A way to play some old favourite's with new game engines and with a little imagination mods on the modern Mac...SimCity Deluxe.
Takes me back. About 30 years.
I wish there was a good-looking, easy to use flightsimulator for mac though. But I haven't been able to find one. I loved both MS Flightsimulator and SimCity back then.
Homeworld looks great!Homeworld Remaster - Getting my ass handed to me in the Cathedral of Kadesh LOL. Is a pretty good package as has both remasters and OG 1&2 games included. Also have the prequel Deserts of Kharak as well, good but not as good as the first two.

Homeworld is still best of it's genre and have the OG running on the Mx MacOG Homeworld snapshot on the Mac, game engine can do both 64 bit Intel and Apple Silicon, not too shabby for 1999

Ironically it's the better engine for the original game as it scales better on modern HW and is still being worked onI only play the campaign as I enjoy the narrative, that and I'm far from a hardcore player of the franchise.
Industria short sweet Indie game on the lines of Half-life. Not great, but not bad for just a handful of devs. Really liked the artistic style. Done and dusted (about 4-1/2 hours with no peeks), might have a look at the 2nd if on a deal.
Q-6
$34.99 too steep IMO at this point, mines off Epic on a deal pennies on the dollar. The Game engine for the Mac Open Source. That said is a deal compared to Homeworld 3 which is in the firing line for all the wrong reasons...Homeworld looks great!
GoG.com, Steam: Homeworld Remastered Collection $34.99 (Mac Compatible at least on Steam, did not check GoG). I've got this in my Steam Library, with no clue of what I paid for it.![]()
I got it on sale too, I would not have paid that much...$34.99 too steep IMO at this point, mines off Epic on a deal pennies on the dollar. The Game engine for the Mac Open Source. That said is a deal compared to Homeworld 3 which is in the firing line for all the wrong reasons...

Thanks. I don't know how I missed that.Is X-Plane not good enough?

I bought it for my dad's 350 MHz iMac G3 and it ran fine on that back before 2000. After Microsoft bought Sub-Logic, I wouldn't even consider Flight Simulator.Thanks. I don't know how I missed that.
Downloading the trial now, hoping my M2 pro will be able to handle it.
I'm planning to run it on my beautiful 55" LG OLED TV at my current resolution, 1600x900. Can't wait.
My issue with X-Plane, although a good, maybe one of the best home computer aircraft simulations, at least when I played it, there was no combat damage modeling, limiting its appeal.Is X-Plane not good enough?
Ok, why is this a funny post, cause I’m incredibly funny? Wait, because you can’t crash? lol. 😝My issue with X-Plane, although a good, maybe one of the best home computer aircraft simulations, at least when I played it, there was no combat damage modeling, limiting its appeal.
The solo story is best. Have you tried online? Granted that is better as a group, but some of the online stuff can be soloed. When I was hunting, there was a high value cougar (for its pelt) that spawned in the same place every 15 minutes or so. 😀Red Dead Redemption II, just starting out. Good as promised so far. Play good, play bad, little of both? We'll see how the story develops...

Since you mentioned Crossover and Heroic, I'm assuming you mean that you're trying to get the game working under MacOS. Though I haven't tried recently, I never could get it working with MacOS no matter what I tried. I believe the issue is with the Electronic Arts DRM loaded into the game. If you do get it working, please post here because I'd like to get it working as well. There's at least a chance it may work in a VM like Parallels or VMware Fusion, though I wouldn't put money on it.Has anyone been able to make Dragon Age: Inquisition GOTYE to work? I got it for free on EGS but can't install it with Heroic and Crossover. The installation file appears to be just 1 KB and installs and then nothing happens.
