Deadlock: Planetary Conquest on Intel OS X?

[Ensign Paris]

Hello,

I've just come across some loads of old CD's, which included finding a copy of Deadlock: Planetary Conquest. This used to be my favourite game as a teenager, and I would love to get it working on my current MBP.

I can't seem to find any decent OS 8/9 emulators that work on Intel, I have a CD of OS8 and 9 too if that is any help!

Any ideas on how I could do this? Or on a lighter note, any body remember just how kick ass this game was!!

Warm Regards,
Ensign

Yeah I love that game. Totally underrated. Might have to boot ye olde powerbook into 10.4 and play a round...

You could try Sheepshaver, but you'd probably have better luck trying to run the PC version in Wine or Crossover.

I should think Sheepshaver is probably capable of running it, the spec requirements were pretty low. I could play it on a Performa 5200

It's not the specs that are the issue, Sheepshaver's features aren't mature. A lot of things don't work. Definitely worth a shot though.http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=20 is the place to ask if you run into difficulties.

If you want a Deadlock-like game that runs on an iOS device you may or may not have, I recommend Starbase Orion. It's fantastic.

P.S. I have no affiliation with the guys who made that game 🙂

Also enjoyed Deadlock quite a bit as a teen, only to realise, playing as an adult, that I had no idea what I was doing back then.

This happens a lot, especially with more strategic games. Stars! anybody??
