IMHO if you want to enjoy good old DOS games- then you should really use Boxer () instead. This is an emulator- though it's more akin to virtualization since DOSBox's core is bloody fast (if you want the technical details, DOSBox supports something called 'dynamic recompilation' or DRC- so as far as emulation goes, it doesn't get any faster then this). The company says the original 50 games are just the beginning, promising to bring more games to the Mac in the future.įYI, these are using the Mac OS X port of DOSBox. Sim City 2000, as an example, runs in an self-contained emulated DOS environment with seemingly no hiccups.

The company licenses titles from a variety of publishers and is zeroing in on 500 titles in their catalog. GOG.com, originally Good Old Games, has been around for the last four years, and originally made a name for itself offering Windows users a way to buy and download vintage games that have long since gone out of circulation, relying on emulation and other similar technology to work.

GOG.com is probably not a name familiar to many Mac users, but it's been around for years selling classic and out-of-date games on Windows. The games include Sim City 2000 (for only $2.99), Syndicate ($5.99), Wing Commander ($5.99) and the Ultima series ($5.99). GOG.com - short for Good Old Games - has brought 50 older PC gaming titles to OS X, many on the modern Mac OS for the first time.
