Psychonauts, Torchlight, Wing Commander 3, and 19 other great games, classic and new, now for your Mac!

Our Mac gaming offer keeps on growing with the addition of a new or classic title every now and then, and our catalog of OS X compatible games has reached (and passed) 100-games milestone quite a while ago. Steady growth is not enough for us, though. We like to drop a content-bomb from time to time, adding a whole pack of Mac-compatible builds to the site. Well, boom! Today, such a pack arrives, with a collection of 22 exciting titles you can now download and play on your Mac! As usual, if you bought the Windows version in the past, you automatically gain access to the Mac version with no need of additional purchase. Let's take a look at the new arrivals, shall we?

7th Guest, a true milestone in gaming and a fascinating ghost story with fully-orchestrated soundtrack, for only $9.99 (now only $7.99!)

Cannon Fodder, a comedic classic top-down squad-based shooter with the tiniest soldiers fighting the biggest war, for only $5.99

Gemini Rue, a gritty neo-noir point-and-click adventure game masterfully mixing Sci-Fi and crime mystery genres, for only $9.99 (now only $7.99!)

Hocus Pocus, a spell-slinging 36-level serving of delightful classic platforming fun from the magical 1990s, for only $5.99

Populous 2: Trials of the Olympian Gods, a isometric god-game, in which you earn your place on Mount Olympus, for only $5.99

Primordia, a sci-fi point-and-click adventure game with enthralling story, multiple endings, and pixelated graphics, for $9.99 (now only $7.99!)

Psychonauts, an immensely original and funny action-adventure 3D platformer with surreal story and environment, for only $9.99

Sniper Elite: Berlin 1945, a realistic sharpshooter simulation set in the final dramatic days of the World War II, for only $9.99

Space Colony HD, the high-definition version of the futuristic cross between real time strategy and The Sims, for only $9.99

Stronghold Crusader HD, an epic castle sim RTS in which you lead armies up to 10k units to conquer the holy land, for only $9.99

Torchlight, a masterfully crafted fantasy hack-and-slash from the makers of Diablo (MP3 soundtrack included!), for only $14.99 (now only $11.99!)

Wing Commander 3: Heart of the Tiger, a mixture of excellent space-fighter sim and an excellent interactive movie, for only $5.99

All of the above, as well as the following titles: Crusader No Regret, Duke Nukem Manhattan Project, Ground Control 2: Special Edition, Lords of the Realm: Royal Edition 1+2, Pinball Gold Pack, , [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/stronghold]Stronghold HD, Total Annihilation Commander Pack, Total Annihilation Kingdoms, Ultima 8: Gold Edition, are available on both Windows and Mac OS X starting today. Once again we'd like to remind you, that if you purchased any of these games in the past, you now have access to the Mac-compatible version on GOG.com with no additional payment required! We'll keep on working to expand our Mac-centric offer (134 games now, and counting), so drop by frequently and check for new titles.
That music is a little too dramatic. =P Good to see all of Wadjet Eye's games on GOG are now available for Mac. I believe this is actually the only place where you can get official Mac versions for those games. Good job, GOG.

I'm happy for our fellow Mac-heads. That said, I'm still not regretting leaving Mac-land (and its ridiculous premium prices) for good as of two years ago or so. Having little to nothing to worry about compatibility is always a good thing. ;)
Oh! I didn't see this! :) So there's sort of something for us fans of old games today.

drpaulthetall: GOG seems to learn a lot of my site :P most of those games were already ported on my site www.paulthetall.com...

cyboff: Dear GOG, please persuade this nice guy to co-operate more closely with you, he is much more efficient in porting than you actually!
Thank you, GOG and thank you, Paul!
Well, yes and no. He might be faster in putting out Mac ports, but has he actually tested them on a variety of hard- and software combinations? Remember, the GoG staff have to guarantee the games will run. if one of his ports doesn't run on your sytem, that sucks, but there is no real consequence for him. On the other hand, if a GoG port doesn't run, well , then they have to fix it or offer some for of compensation.
Excellent! I love it! This is great! I can now play these GOGS on both my machines!
Crusader: No Regret... Thank you!!

It was meant more like ironic remark, and I understand it very well, but anyway: I don't think GOG HAVE TO fix bugs or offer compensation either.. If you run into some "crashing" bug in windows game, then you can report it, but did you ever got some compensation from e.g. Steam? I never heard of it...
But of course GOG is such a great service that they actually offer big compensations without any hesitation
(I have already ran into small problem with Freespace on Mac, and was offered tons of compesations :D)

deonast: So should I be seeing lots of nice red "Updated" indicators in my account listing of games for each of the added mac versions or is it only windows updates that get listed?
I don't see update indicators for them. It would be nice to as it would make us less dependent on religiously following the announcements to track updates.

I know, I meant things like a black screen or excessive flickering because of some drivers issue with you specific model of graphics card and your specific combination of OS and X windows system and version of Wine used, or something along those lines. I remember when a lot of games on OS X had broken mouse support because something between Xquartz and Wine wasn't working properly.

Yes. Especially as they announced it right after I was finally done redownloading everything, to remove redundant files. Will get you an updated database on Friday.
Can't you mac people post some videos and/or screenshots of gog-special-lovely games running?
As a non-Mac user, I'm rather curious!

Thanks!

Why? It's the same game, in some cases it is even literally the Windows version just running on top of a compatibility layer. Here is a port of XIII I made myself:

(the game had awful framerate when recoding, it plays fine actually)

GOG games are usually set to run in fullscreen mode, so they actually look and play the same way as windows versions, there is nothing more to show you :D
Installer is a little different, you just have to move your game from virtual disk to your harddrive... Here are examples how that "installers" (virtual disks) look like:

Still waiting for some Linux love. If you need funds for that, GOG, please start a KickStarter or something similar.
After that, I'll only buy from your site.

So some ports are only the windows version through wine? Is that it?

I agree and yep, same here.

Most of them are dosbox or wine ports, some of them (usually new indie games) are native...
