Marathon 2 a classic FPS originally from Destiny developer Bungie now on Steam

Quoting: zkarjIt's unfortunate that Microsoft bought Bungie and discontinued Halo development for Mac, which could have helped with Linux port of Halo. At least Halo runs quite well in wine, although I've heard subsequent versions Halo 2 and beyond cannot be run in wine or even run properly in MS Windows, only in Xbox.
You could try xemu. :tongue:

TheForceEngine adds initial Dark Forces Remaster support

I have always been quite wary of these commercial Nightdive remasters outcrowding the open-source community implementations, especially since they essentially abandoned Linux afer Forsaken. It is good then to see projects like this, Doom 64 EX Plus, and Exhumed Plus (WIP), that allow the new content to be available to everyone indefinitly (in 20 years these closed Kex ports will be just as mothballed as the DOS originals). I rather wish someone would update rottexpr to load the Ludicrous Edition content, but given the slow pace of ROTT source port development thus far that might be wishful thinking, and is not even really an option for something like Killing Time or PO'd. Some credit to id for releasing code that made the new Quake releases more easily compatible with the existing source ports.

Quoting: pbI remember reading about it in a magazine and wondering why would anyone make a fps game exclusively for Macintosh. Oh well, I had an Amiga back then and I was busy playing Gloom and Breathless, lol. And some Citadel [External Link], too!
I loved gloom. did you play alien breed 3d that needs a rerelease. but the level design was excellent. could do with a resolution boost though :grin:

There you go. Also Gloom has a source port called ZGloom.
