Is there a free option of something like Joy2Key for Mac? I might get Braid but would much rather use my gamepad - all the solutions I've found are shareware programs.

Right, so there's Braid, which I haven't played, and Windosill, which I've played one level of and is AWESOME

Windosill was pretty cool, but like The Path (which demo/prologue was released pretty recently) I'm still feeling unsure if I actually want to pay for these purely artistic games. Yeah, I know, in Windosill's case it's the price of a cup of coffee, but still... Braid seems to be a sort of balance, the demo sold me, and I'll probably get it at some point.

just downloaded Halo which seems to work fine - thinking about picking up CoD4 but it seems the single player is only 10 hours long it looks like, maybe good for a plane ride

also picked up Myth at an estate sale for $1, hope I don't need to run OS9 emulation software or whatever to run it
Anyone recommend those Penumbra games? Only $5 till the end of the day.

Anyone know of a good rhythm game that lets you use your own mp3s?
Oh, don't bother, I know there isn't one.

Hmmm ... actually, there is an unofficial port. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

And Braid got something of a stealth price drop to $10 (about time):

Fallout 2 is fairly badass, and Warcraft III is pretty good as well.― John Justen (johnjusten), Sunday, September 18, 2005 12:43 PM (6 years ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink
I have no mac but would like to 2nd the goodness that is fallout 2.― jeffrey (johnson), Sunday, September 18, 2005 12:53 PM (6 years ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink
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 think i found the first one via, you know, sources

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

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/
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 26 October 2012 10:47 (eleven years ago) link
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.

i've been playing borderlands 2 on my macbook and it looks great

Recently ported Escape Goat is pretty great; very Lode Runner-esque.http://i.imgur.com/97mIeZB.png

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

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.

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.
― panettone for the painfully alone (mayor jingleberries), Thursday, 13 November 2014 19:06 (nine years ago) link
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
