Oh man, I loved this game! Any chance I can get it to run on my Mac?

You may have some luck with Wine or CrossOver. Unfortunately we don't currently test on macOS.

Edit: I've been told that the removal of 32-bit support in the latest OS versions makes macOS support unlikely. The game uses some old proprietary DLLs (for some file formats) that are 32-bit only. Sorry :(

CrossOver could work. I've had success running other 32 bit only games (counter strike 1.6) on OSX

We can still play via a VM right?

Yes, of course. I think for a while we have been careful in maintaining compatibility with VMware's virtualization, though lately it is largely unnecessary (due to improvements in the VM software).

I’ve been using PlayOnMac with particular version of Wine and DirectX support for WA 3.7. Haven’t tested with 3.8 yet, but soon will!
