So I just realized after getting a macbook air that due to investing some money in charity through the humble bundle organization, I have acquired quite a collection of games for mac os without even realizing it.
So I decided I should give it a go and try installing Legend of Grimrock on the mba and try to see how it runs.
Here´s my findings based on running around for 10 minutes.
The game runs great!
I upped the details to set everything high
The game still runs great and looks a bit awesome too!
drawbacks: This is the first time I heard the fan come audible with this machine. Apparently it needs to work hard for this which is no wonder
I found a writing on the wall that says "loose rock" and didnt find how to advance yet. So I havent actually ran into an enemy which might bring the framerate down a bit. No worries though, I´ll look for a walkthrough to get a step further into it. Common sense says there should be a loose rock on the wall but I tried clicking around like crazy and found nothing
Oh and also, Jamestown works great too and its fun to play a little 2d shooter on this small screen too... but now my wife wants her machine back lol. We might need to get another macbook because now I want my own one too
point being: I never expected the integrated graphics card and fairly low frequency processor on this thing would be actually usable on semi-recent games but it seems like it very much is playable!
