Fallout 2 is fairly badass, and Warcraft III is pretty good as well.

whoa hey sorry to dredge up these 6y.o. posts but how do you get Fallout and Fallout 2 for Mac?! I need to play them so I can be super-elitist about FO3/NV

i've been impressed with wineskin wrappers lately; i was able to install deus ex, oblivion, ulillillia's platform masters demo, and others with only a bit of configuration

oh, dope. i happen to be very stupid so only a bit of configuration is good.

I've got a wrapped copy of skyrim that works perfectly.

Ha if it works perfectly than it is not skyrim

If you like puzzle games, the sequel to Fool's Errand has (finally!) been released: http://fools-errand.com/

FYI, Hotline Miami finally and unceremoniously released the Mac version, which runs great. The game is Steamworks and Steamplay enabled, so if you buy it for PC you'll be able to play it on either system.

Recently ported Escape Goat is pretty great; very Lode Runner-esque.

are there any recent rts games that are worth checking out? really enjoyed age of empires ii/mythology, but i wasn't completely sold on the fast-paced starcraft style of gameplay

Planescape: Torment!

I've wanted to play that for years but not enough to bother with doing it in bootcamp, so yay!

Steamplay port notice: Retro City Rampage DX. Nicely, I don't to have to buy it again, everyone gets the upgrade for free.

ooo want

Steam's been fuckin up hard for me lately.. heard this works, but havent done it myself

Has to do with the universal access settings crap messing with the steam overlay.

That drove me crazy for a couple weeks! Pretty sure the upgrade to Yosemite did it.
Finally (fingers crossed) fixed it by closing Steam, removing it from Universal Access, adding it again as a brand new app from that window, and rebooting.

Nhex, Thursday, 13 November 2014 19:17 (nine years ago) link

But I'll definitely try that command line fix if/when it happens again

FYI The Witness got the Mac port, so if you got it in one of their freedom bundles / the current monthly, it's on now
