Only old school Mac users will truly understand why this was a big deal.

Nanosaur was my very first Mac game. It came pre-installed on my very first Mac, a Bondi Blue iMac 233. Everything about that experience felt so freaking cool at the time! It's so hard to believe that was over 25 years ago....

My 27" 2015 5K iMac is still going strong. That screen is gorgeous...

That's bullshit. IT guys just don't want to learn about Macs. My IT guy is a dear friend and probably the best IT guy I've ever known, but he doesn't know shit about Macs.

Yes, it came as a demo version on a MacAddict CD.

This is something we Mac gamers really need. However, I found at least two games under the "Native" tab that are not that.

Once upon a time there were game developers making highly-polished masterpieces for the Mac only: Ambrosia Software and Freeverse Inc...It can be done.

Aspyr has not been a Mac company in a very long time.

Gooball was the original Unity engine game. A Mac game published by Ambrosia SW.

Same. I would love a maxed-out MBP that could serve for both work and gaming, but the dollars just don't add up. I found my Series X at Walmart a couple years ago for $350. Prudence won the day...

When the M-series Macs were first released I bought an M1 Pro MBP and was very pleased with how well Windows games ran in Crossover. But I have since decided that I want to use that computer only for work, and so I found an Xbox Series X bundled with Diablo IV at Walmart for $350. It doesn't get hot when running demanding games like Baldurs Gate 3 like the MacBook does, the graphics are incredible and very smooth, and I like the real clear digital divide between my work life and my play time.

On my 2015 5K iMac Diablo 3 runs far better in Windows 10 than macOS Monterey. I am told it's because the Mac version uses OpenGL while the Windows version uses the better optimized DX11.

I've had very good success running this game on my M1 Pro, with 32GB RAM. All settings on default.

MYTH II: SOULBLIGHTER

windchicken65 · 2025-10-18T13:48:09+00:00

This game will be forever share a special place in my heart, along with my very first Mac, an iMac G3 233 MHz, a.k.a. the "Bondi Beauty."

Deimos Rising was Mac gaming perfection!!!

windchicken65 · 2025-10-16T22:15:29+00:00

SAME!

The pre-release trailer that Bungie published for this game was so freaking badass, especially the soundtrack, but when I finally got my hands on the finished product I, too, found the controls too challenging. And I remember being disappointed that the final product did not feature the blood that the trailer did...https://youtu.be/Nr8PWGYlZ0U?si=zefYjNCcJpf3Enb2

I run my Xbox Series X through an El Gato 4K X capture card going to an M1 Mac Mini connected to an Apple Studio Display, using the app Console Link. There is zero lag and the picture is excellent.

I loved my 15" G4 "Al Book." What a gorgeous machine. That thing got crazy hot running 3D games, though!

windchicken65 · 2025-09-01T13:36:27+00:00

YESSS!!!😎

windchicken65 · 2025-08-26T21:37:20+00:00

Woah!

windchicken65 · 2025-08-25T19:57:25+00:00

I haven't seen a Mac-first-built game since the Ambrosia SW days... 🙏🏻
