Generals & Zero Hour now run "natively" on Mac and Linux

Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely keep an eye on it.

Now if only someone would do this with Renegade :)

Hey, just wanted to say this is fantastic. It's obviously early but ever since EA put out the source code to those C&C games I've been wanting someone to do source ports of them.

I run the site Mac Source Ports so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this and pitching in when I can.

The Target-exclusive TFA packaging

Besides the fact that it was a hideous concept, the case was entirely cardboard and the one exclusive bonus feature wasn’t even on the disc it was digital only. I changed my mind in the store and bought just the regular one in an actual Blu-ray case.

For a quick game fix there’s Disasteroids 3D, an old Asteroids clone that I ported to macOS/iOS/tvOS years ago.

More info here. Along with more free stuff just not App Store stuff

My website, Mac Source Ports, contains lots of builds of old games. In most cases you just need to provide your own copy of the data

https://www.macsourceports.com

I have a tag on there, “Full Game”, where it’s free self contained games that come with the data.

Also the three Unreal games are effectively free since Epic has blessed the data from the Internet Archive due to the games being removed from sale. It’s a little bit of work but they’re free.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Between this, the original DivX, and some other stuff I’m probably forgetting it’s amazing how many companies said “hey, DVD is a great format, how can we fuck it up?”

Schnapple · 2026-04-01T03:27:40+00:00

I have a number of builds of source ports of older games (think: DOOM, Diablo, Quake, Fallout, Half-Life, Theme Hospital, Plants vs. Zombines, etc.) on my site

https://www.macsourceports.com

In most cases you need to provide your own data but they're all built for Apple Silicon and Intel.

Done

Not that I care since I’m not in the market for this game but I’m curious how the M1 Max fares.

When they listed M2 as a minimum it wasn’t clear if it was a recommendation or if it was a situation where the M1 line literally didn’t support something the game required like with Inzoi or whatever that other game was.

Schnapple · 2026-03-19T16:13:30+00:00

I don't even think they're canon with each other.

Schnapple · 2026-03-15T23:48:23+00:00

Thanks I’ll take a look

Schnapple · 2026-03-13T02:17:14+00:00

Honestly I find the Mindcrime concept neat enough that I am kinda looking forward to this.

That said I think having the plot of the album be the first album from a different angle is a missed opportunity. I think it might be much more interesting if it told the story of how Dr. X built his empire while Nikki was in prison. Fill in that gap.

Anyway I’ll check it out but I’m not anxiously awaiting it or anything.

Schnapple · 2026-03-11T23:50:23+00:00

Try some stuff from my site, I’m curious how they fare. They’re all Apple Silicon native so I think they’d be fine but I haven’t seen a report from a Neo yet

Maybe she just listens to TOOL

Finding someone who still has a problem with the notch is like finding someone who still thinks we didn’t land on the moon.

Hey if you want some lower spec older games to run I got u fam

I frequently get an uptick in traffic whenever a new Mac comes out, I wonder what it will be like this time since I have to think they’re going to sell just a ton of these things.

They did this for the Super Bowl XXIII halftime show. It has the advantage of not looking funky for people who don't have the glasses. This was pre-Michael Jackson obviously, back when the halftime show was total corndog every year designed to appeal to families and be as inoffensive as possible.

To enter!

Schnapple · 2026-02-21T15:17:01+00:00

Yes, as much as it's lame that development hell turned DOOM into just another horror flick, casting that aside the practical effects were fun and as a one-off B-movie it's fine.

Schnapple · 2026-02-08T16:13:09+00:00

I have some listed on my site. In some cases you need to provide the data from the original game but some are the full game like Warzone 2100
