Hi,
is there any chance that one of my all-time favorite games (that is Sacrifice) gets a Mac version?
I recently bought MacBook Air for work and stuff, but I miss playing Sacrifice.

Sacrifice had a Mac port made by Macplay, and it was released in December 2001, but I don't know if Interplay owns the rights to it. I'm not sure, but I think you can buy it from Amazon. Has no Scapex tho.

Thanks! I checked it out on Amazon, it's still in stock but it's not compatible with Mountain Lion, so that's it for me.
I was hoping though that GoG would make a port. :)

I don't have a Mac, so can't help much, but I say buy it and then try to find a solution to play it on modern OS. If I can play DOS games on my Win7, then you can probably make the game run too :)

Also, keep in mind GOG doesn't actually port anything, they just work with what they get from publishers, and I don't think the Mac version of Sacrifice is owned by Interplay.

The problem is that someone who had already bought it wrote that it doesn't run on OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, so I don't want to waste money just to come to the same conclusion. :)

And I know GOG doesn't port games, but I thought that when they can make 20 yrs old game run on Windows 8, maybe they can come up with a way to run Sacrifice on Mac. :)

Isn't there an emulator, Wine or something, that people use to play Windows games on Macs?

Wine...I forgot about Wine! Now I feel kinda stupid. But I checked how to run games via Wine and to be honest, it looked pretty complicated to me. :/ I know I'm being lazy and all but if there was an easier way to run those games, I would be eternally grateful.

Well, I don't know any other way :/ If it helps with anything, I use Dosbox for DOS games I get from abandonware sites, and at first I thought it was complicated, but once I learned how to do it, it was simple. Try using Wine on a Windows game that you already own, and if you can do that, then buy Sacrifice and play it.

Sorry, that's the best advice I can give...

Found this thread, see if you can find something that helps :

Thanks a lot, Licurg!
I checked Paul the Tall's page and found a great number of wineskin wrappers for GOG games, then I google a bit and found another website where they were making Mac ports for Win games and there was a port for Sacrifice too, unfortunately dead. So I tried to make my own wineskin wrapper and I was able to run the game pretty easily! :)
But it's not ideal, resolution keeps getting messy sometimes, I can either play fullscreen but without the top 1 cm of screen or in a "window". But it's playable. The only thing I miss is the option to make groups via (Ctrl+1-9), only Ctrl+1 works.

Well, if it helps, I don't use groups playing, and I manage just fine :P Glad you can finally play it, be sure to mark the issue as "solved" if you don't have any further issues.
