Re: [Audyssey] Games for Mac

hmmm I am not sure if this works or not but any vip game made with 
python will probably work.

Mota has a mac file I think.
You probably will need a vm to run windows though.
Its a pitty you can't play iphone apps on the mac.

Hi,

Well, in that case I can't help you there. The fact of the matter is
that mainstream developers usually don't create native Mac ports of
their games. What ends up happening is they will work with a
commercial emulator like Transgaming's Cider so that the PC version
will run on Mac via the emulator. That's what E.A. Games and a lot of
mainstream game developers do instead of creating Mac specific ports.

 for Mac.

Re: [Audyssey] Games for Mac

Hi Karl,

Sure. I guess it all depends on what you want to play. Are you looking
specifically for accessible audio games or more mainstream games?

If you are looking at mainstream PC games one way to go about it is
buy a commercial emulator like Cider from Transgaming which has a huge
list of compatible mainstream games available for the Mac. However, I
can't testify as to the accessibility of those games as I have not
played any of them personally.

At this point the best way to play both accessible and mainstream PC
games is run Windows XP via Bootcamp and install all your favorite
games on your Mac that way. That's the only way I know of to get to
play a majority of games on a Mac as native Mac games we can play are
pretty few and far between.

In terms of native Mac games goes I can't think of many suggestions
you haven't already mentioned. If you are into text adventures there
are free interpreters like Zoom for Mac which will allow you to play
lots of your favorite text adventures on Mac. If you are into old
arcade games I believe there are Mac ports of Stella and SNES9X. I'm
sure there are accessible Mud clients out there as well, but none come
to mind.

I guess what I'm saying is you can probably play anything you want to
if you have the right emulator or are willing to setup a multiboot
with XP. There aren't a whole lot of native accessible games for Mac
OS that I am aware of, and virtual machines or running a multiboot is
the only way around that problem I've found.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] games for mac

2009-05-16 Thread Thomas Ward

Hi Will,
All I can say about our USA Games titles is we are working on it. We 
have the cross platform game engine written and are attempting to debug 
it as best we can right now. There are some rather nasty bugs in the 
cross platform game engine that is holding up the release of Mysteries 
of the Ancients Beta 5. I can't give a specific day or hour when Beta 5 
will get released, but Mac and Linux releases are on the way.

Cheers.
