As long as the game doesnвЂ™t requireВ anything newer than DirectX 9.0 or hostВ particularly invasive DRM (e.g. GOGВ makes it easier because the games are mostly a single installerВ and haveВ no DRM to worry about, but disc-based games can be done too by copying the contents of the disc to a folder on your computer, so do that first. IвЂ™m going to be doing this with the GOG version of RollerCoaster Tycoon.

Enough hard drive space for the install plus about 150MB.And it works with basically anything short of the latest and greatest.

I recently noticed that GOG was offering Mac versions of PC-only Black Isle RPGs like Planescape: Torment.В My curiosity over what witchcraft was enabling thisВ led me to Wineskin, which now has me running stuff like RollerCoaster Tycoon natively in OS X. If you have fond memories of a PC game of that era and itвЂ™s not from Blizzard or id, odds are it didnвЂ™t getВ a Mac release. What I like most about it, though, is that GOG isВ up there with ValveВ in its efforts to make Mac gaming less of a wasteland.В When it comes to retro computer games,В DOS isnвЂ™t too much of a hurdleВ because the hardware requirements are trivial and apps like Boxer make emulation simple, but theВ Windows ultra-dominance of the late 90s through late 2000s are a dark spot. They distributeВ classic PC titles, getting them running on modern operating systems, bundled with extras, and all without DRM.
