If you ask about Apple OS X games on /v/, you're going to get drowned in trolls. We'd like to apologize for that: sorry.
  +
  +
Damn near every major game made for [[PC|Microsoft Windows]] also has an OS X version these days, so check that out until we can get /v/ to give a straight answer, and write this page.
  +
  +
For games from before OS X came out, check the [[Macintosh]] page.
  +
  +
And for God's sake, get Steam. It's been available for OS X since May 2010.
  +
  +
Also, Unix and Mac users should look into Wine. It usually supports Windows games and it's free.
  +
  +
By the way, it's pronounced "o-s-ten". Yeah, the X is a 10, roman numerals n' shit. Also, it's no longer called "Mac OS X" since 10.8.

An indie 2D platformer with RPG and beat 'em up elements. Stunning painted backgrounds, top notch animation, great voice acting, and above all, absurdly fun to play (be sure to use a good gamepad).

"It just works."

If you ask about Apple OS X games on /v/, you're going to get drowned in trolls. We'd like to apologize for that: sorry.

Damn near every major game made for Microsoft Windows also has an OS X version these days, so check that out until we can get /v/ to give a straight answer, and write this page.

For games from before OS X came out, check the Macintosh page.

And for God's sake, get Steam. It's been available for OS X since May 2010.

Also, Unix and Mac users should look into Wine. It usually supports Windows games and it's free.

By the way, it's pronounced "o-s-ten". Yeah, the X is a 10, roman numerals n' shit. Also, it's no longer called "Mac OS X" since 10.8.
