Hi Shaun, A few comments here if I may. To begin with don't assume just because something use to run on Mac or was developed by Apple several years ago that it will run on Mac OS 10.7. Things like the Aemon Guild Adventures for Apple were written for a totally different OS and hardware and certainly won't run natively on a modern Mac. Ain't goin' to happen. :D
Regarding Python for Mac and the Moosic game. First, a modern Mac 10.7 system is probably running Python 2.7.2 or Python 2.7.3 which is the current production release for cross-platform developers, and is totally different from the version of Python use for Moosic. Therefore to even run Moosic on a modern Mac with the current Python version one would pretty much have to rewrite the game from scratch or spend the time necessary upgrading its outdated code. Second, the version of FMOD Ex it uses is A, extremely out of date, B, no longer supported, and C, no longer available from Firelight Technologies. Even worse Pysonic, the Python FMOD wrapper it uses for FMOD Ex,hasn't been updated in years far as I know which makes updating Moosic that much more difficult because one would have to update Pysonic as well. In other words if a person wants to play that game they'd be better off just rewriting it from scratch. Cheers!
