More cross-platform games that run on Mac OS X
Posted by JohnnyAppleseed | Under Games, Review, Software Wednesday Jun 11, 2008Here’s a little tip for those who wish to acquire free games that run under OS X: Never overlook a web page full of links to Linux games just because you see the word Linux. Quite often, if you actually follow the link to any of those games, you’ll see that in fact there is an OS X version also.
And it is for that reason we will point you to this article: Introduction to Linux Gaming. It gives you screenshots and descriptions of three, and I quote here, “Native Linux games.” Of course, what they mean by native is that you don’t have to run the games under an emulator, not that the games have only Linux versions. As it turns out, of the three games listed (Neverball, Frets on Fire, and FlightGear), all three have Mac OS X versions available for download (although the one for Frets on Fire is labeled as “Experimental”). Check it out if you’re looking for some downloadable Mac games (and don’t let the word “Linux” fool you)!
