It has been a long time since the last batch of titles was fixed up for Mac users to play on OS X. I don't understand why more effort isn't devoted to this where it is doable for a lot of the classic games here. I'd still like to see everything possible which is probably everything, of the Might and Magic plus Heroes of Might and Magic games for example. The Sierra games would be nice. Really, any of the stuff that works with Boxer and Wine would be nice.
So, how about it GOG? I remember reading that Mac sales did very well for you. Why not rake in some more from the existing catalog of classic games?
Before somebody explains to me how i can use Boxer, Wineskin, etc., please don't. I am looking for added value and ease of use, not work.
Even if they hired one qualified person and had them devote themselves to this task and doing the same releases for Linux while they were at it would surely be profitable and the testing involved would not be difficult. There is no way the other games done were all played start to finish on multiple configurations so, it isn't like that level of testing is necessary for this kind of "porting" and I use the term very loosely.
I've been away for a while and a distinct lack of attention to the Mac audience is why among other reasons. I'd pay a lot more attention and I imagine other Mac users would too if there was more to pay attention to. So, it never hurts to ask and that's why I am.
How about it GOG? Our money is good too you know.
