In Response To: Old Games OSX-ized? (TwelveMotion)

: In the recent few years I have stumbled upon many great discoveries of older
: games that have been converted to OSX. Some free downloads like Marathon,
: other patches to older game to make them run on OSX. So far I know about
: Marathon, Myth, Fallout 1 and 2, Most of the old shooters like Doom,
: Heretic and Hexen, and Starcraft. I am curious is there are any other
: games you guys know of that have been updated to OSX. Maybe a Master of
: Orion patch out there somewhere?

The Ur-Quan Masters (ne้ Star Control 2) exists in an OS X (PPC) native remake, along with Wing Commander: Privateer. The FS2_Open guys just released a universal version of their build of Freespace 2, and D2X-XL is universal, regularly updated, and offers compatibility for both Descent and Descent 2.

The OS X patch for Duke Nukem 3D is also still out there, as well as the OS X version of Rise of the Triad, and fruitz of dojo's OS X universal versions of Quake and Quake 2.

Don't forget that there are more old games accessible on OS X through the universal versions of SCUMMVM and DOSBox, too.
