[OS X] Any chance of having Realmz on the Mac again?

BRLawyer · Nov 10, 2012, 12:30 PM

Simply put, this was the best turn-based RPG ever for the Mac - has anyone heard anything about a new, OS X-native port or similar effort?

Or perhaps iOS, if all else fails?

The developer has to make the native port, and that is Fantasoft.

For now there are two ways to run realmz on a mac:
1.) Emulator. Either with sheep shaver or basilisk. You use the mac version here.
2.) A wrapper, either wineskin or crossover will work fine. Will need the PC version.

I used to play that game for hours on end. I would just run it on an emulator though. I doubt they would port it. It just wouldn't be that popular.

I know I wouldn't play it again not with the likes of The Elder Scrolls games to play.
