Evil Genius, Strike Commander, Syndicate Wars, and 7 other great classic games, now for your Mac!

GOG.com is all about bringing you the best games in the history, old and new, and DRM-free. While there are tons of great new titles that we're proud to have in our offer, the classics are--and have always been--in high demand. This time, our Mac update focuses solely on the games that strike that nostalgic notes in the hearts of gamers. Today, we give you 10 classic titles ready to run on your Mac OS X systems. Let's take a look on the new arrivals, shall we?

For strategy fans that appreciate humor, we've got [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/evil_genius]Evil Genius, a real-time mad scientist lair management sim in which you terrorize the world with your inventions. Your's for only $9.99. What's that? Too much humor for your taste? Syndicate Wars, a violent squad based real-time tactical game set in the grim cyberpunk future of corporate wars, is as serious as dystopian visions get, and it's only $5.99.

Action fans that crave for some nostalgic FPS action will appreciate [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/rise_of_the_triad__dark_war]Rise of the Triad: Dark War, a blatantly brutal, and curiously crazy classic first person shooter from the 1990s, for only $5.99. Or, if you want to go even further down the memory lane, there's also Blake Stone: Planet Strike, one of the first FPS games to feature a prominent hero and a captivating storyline ($5.99 as well).

Up for a brawl? We've got you covered. Grab [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/guilty_gear_x2_reload]Guilty Gear X2 #Reload, a fast-paced 2D fighting game with crazy anime-style fighters and a rock/metal soundtrack, for only $5.99. And if that's not enough frantic battles for you, try Guilty Gear Isuka. This one even features a side-scrolling adventure mode, and more for only $5.99.

Do you feel like it's the time to spread your wings? [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/strike_commander]Strike Commander is an action-oriented modern-day jet fighter combat simulation from the creators of Wing Commander, for only $5.99. But if you prefer not to mix flying with combat, we recommend Slipstream 5000, an incredible airborne jet-racing game that's full of supersonic fun and action, now also in multiplayer mode! Yours for only $5.99.

RPG fans should be happy about the addition of [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/darklands]Darklands, the open-ended realistic medieval adventure in which your party fights the heresy of devil-worshippers. Or, on the other hand, you could easily switch sides and become the Litil Divil, out on his great puzzle-packed adventure in the pixel-art hell. Both titles for only $5.99 each.

That's all Mac-compatible games we've prepared for today. We hope you'll have tons of great fun with them. As usual on GOG.com, if you previously purchased any of the above, you can now access the Mac version from your game library, without any additional payment.

See you next time!

Patrunjelu: More Mac games is always good news :D Here's to a bright and Macful future!
It's really cool to notice that GOG is bringing a lot of gaming variety to its Mac catalogue; cool fps from the past, fighting games, simulators, platformers, and many more.
Thank you!

mistermumbles: Odd. What made you guys decide to Macify the second Blake Stone over the first? Should have done both at the same time. Just sayin'. =P
I am fairly certain that both Blake Stone games were available on Mac back in the 90's, so that is a good question.

Also Hocus Pocus should be Mac friendly by now as it was too.

vicklemos: Really wish I could closely check the porting process at the GOG headquarters!
And just for curiosity's sake: will you guys make available the HiB mac ports of Stacking and Costume Quest?

drpaulthetall: Costume quest I already ported on my site, Stacking is more a pain in the ass, its working, but its "slow", I expect thats the reason they haven't either.
Are you an official mac porter? BTW cool website

JudasIscariot: Because usually the updated installer came with a fix that was worthy an updated flag, such as Slipstream 5000 and multiplayer being fixed :D.
You need to implement some kind of chanelog utility...

Yes I am. Ported over 600 games on my site. I think probably GOG.com won't admit it :P, but I think my site had a "little" influence (after having ported games for years) that they also started to port games using wineskin ;) I am not talking about the ported dosgames where the Mac version of DOSbox is used. The two Wineskin ports which are also ported for a while on my site are here Evil Genius and Guilty Gear X2 Reloaded and Isuka. Anyway, i will stop to being a show off :P

These are Mac versions from the developer, Double Fine. I do not believe these are running with Wine. I think they are native OS X apps. Four Double Fine titles are on Steam now, including Costume Quest, Pyschonauts, Stacking and Brutal Legend all in Mac versions as well as Linux versions. I doubt those are in Wine wrappers.

They just announced and released these versions (all but Psychonauts Mac) within the past few days.

I own Stacking here and I hope they get the Mac version as it would be much nicer to have that to play than needing to reboot.

Hocus Pocus was made available for the Mac with the previous batch of Mac releases. Unless you meant something else by that?

Cool for Stacking and Costume Quest, native released is always better then game ports! You meaned those titles when you said: "I doubt those are in Wine wrappers." right?

Yes. Same with Brutal Legend. I assume the same was already true for Pyschonauts which I own but haven't gotten around to playing yet.

Correct I knew about those, that they are native games. But Evil genius and Guilty Gear are Wineskin ports I own them (for my port) and just checked them on gog.com for their mac version, and they are wineskin alright.

Sorry, I don't know how those two games got brought into this. I was not talking about them at all. I was just talking about the Double Fine games.
