Silly question, if we can port this to web could we port it to Mac?

Just so you can saturate a mid-level iMac Pro with a 25 year old game at 640x480, 256 colors

Yeah, I was really disappointed to learn that the recent port was made for Windows only.

It should be possible to run via wine then, right? (or compile with winelib)

I’ve actually fought with getting both my original copy and GoG copy to run in Wine for quite a few hours. Can’t seem to get past the start screen.

There is also a Mac release on there which is what I was asking about.
Sadly it's 32 bit and will soon stop working on MacOS? I wonder if this is resolvable.
