GOG Comes To the Mac, Announces That the Ultima Games Will Be Among The First Released For OS X
Akalaupdate: Ultimas 1-3, Ultimas 4-6, and Ultima Underworld 1 & 2 are now available for Mac.
CD Projekt and GOG had some good news for Mac gamers today:
It’s official! GOG.com supports Mac OS X.
We’re bringing a part of our massive catalog of all-time classics to Mac, starting with an impressive 50 titles for Mac gamers to play and enjoy. 28 of the 50 titles, the best games in history, including Syndicate, Ultima series, or Wing Commander, will be playable on the Mac OS X for the first time ever–exclusively on GOG.com. The complete line-up reflects the diversity of available games unmatched by other distributors…
…
Remember, the 50 is just the beginning — we promise to release more amazing games on Mac in the near future.
To celebrate, they have also put several other games on sale, including Crusader: No Remorse.
So, Mac gamers: there’s a whole pile of retro (and not-so-retro) games coming your way, thanks to CD Projekt and GOG. Get ready!
Oh, and: GOG also announced that the underappreciated Origin Systems classic, BioForge, is now available for purchase. So pick that one up, if you haven’t played it yet.
I knew if I waited long enough on writing about how to play the GOG Ultimas on a Mac, GOG would come through 🙂
