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!
Very nice games, no Mac gamers should be complaining for a while.
I know at least one person who will be very happy about this.
Awesome. Keep them coming.
Thanks. One request, however: can you please tag the games as updated when they get new Mac versions?
Awesome! I was just about to request Blake Stone and ROTT for your next round of Mac releases! Thanks, GOG team!
Thank you GOG! Downloading :D
Why is Darklands for Windows ~80MB, while Darklands for Mac is ~20MB?

I'm afraid that would annoy the hell out of PC-only users. That's part of the reason we make these "Mac Update" announcements. You get the list of all recently updated games here. And you can always see the whole Mac catalog at: http://www.gog.com/catalogue using the "Sort by: System" option.

JMich: Why is Darklands for Windows ~80MB, while Darklands for Mac is ~20MB?
This is correct. Mac wrapper is much lighter than all the stuff that needs to be in PC download to assure its compatibility across various Windows platforms.

EDIT: Nope. That's not the case, this time. Judas tells me that the PC version also includes a rather heavy manual scan in the download. Sorry for misleading you.

It would be very nice if we can do this "sort by: system" (or "filter: mac") in our game shelf too...
Are the extra levels from ROTT already included in the Mac version? If not, how do I go about adding them?

Good point, sir! We'll pass that to our web-dev team and we'll see what can be done (and when).

Oh fiddlesticks. PC users are such delicate flowers.

Probably the same way you would on Windows. Put the files in the game's directory and launch the setup to choose the custom data file. I don't have a Mac tho so this is only a guess.
