Fallout, MDK, Descent--now on your Mac.

, [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/descent_1_descent_2]Descent + Descent 2, Earthworm Jim 1+2, , and [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/battle_chess_special_edition]Battle Chess, are fully OS X-compatible and available for an incredibly low price of $5.99 each for the first time in history. A total of 12 Interplay games can be purchased on GOG.com right now with more Interplay titles coming to our catalogue in the future.

Is that it? NO! The 12 games from Interplay, including Redneck Rampage, , and the all-time classics Fallout, MDK, and Descent, are also available as a part of our [url=http://www.gog.com/interplay]Pay What You Want for Interplay Games offer. To get those 12 games for Mac, which are worth $71.88, GOG.com Mac users need to pay only $34.99 (or more if they wish). Kingdom: The far Reaches, Shattered Steel, VR Soccer '96, and Screamer can be picked up for as little as $0.01. But that's not all--the 20 other Interplay games for PC which are available in this offer, like Fallout 2, Freespace + Expansion, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, will get a free update to OS X once the Mac versions are ready.

Grab 32 Interplay games, 12 of which are now fully Mac-compatible, right now in Pay What You Want for Interplay Games--this offer lasts only 6 more days!

Whoah, wait, the other 20 games will get Mac versions as well? OK, I get that Fallout is the DOS version, fine, but according to Wikipedia Fallout 2 didn't have a DOS version. What kind of sorcery is this!? Well, now if GoG put their arcane powers to use to bring Descent 3 over, then I'd be really happy ^^

None as of yet. Only fallout 1 had a mac release. There's not been one for fallout 2. Saying that, it's not hard to get running with wine, so assuming there's no licensing reasons why they can't just bundle everything up, it should happen at some point.

Nice release :)

Awesome! Time to play some MDK again. I just tried out the GOG downloader too, super fast.

Thanks!

Thiev: both Fallout and MDK on Mac are DOS versions.
Interesting. I wasn't even aware there was a DOS version for it. The more you know...

This is great, but I think you should concentrate on bringing games from Amiga and Atari ST to GOG in emulation.
People are not out there buying Macs because of the great games they can play on them. That would be like buying the New York Times to read the comics.

That will not happen. First GOG would need the rights to use the necessary roms/os those systems used, then they need permission to use whatever emulator and then get the rights to the actual games the majority of which are in worse licensing shape then System Shock so yeah not happening.

Actually, there have been Mac versions of both Fallout and Fallout 2, even if for old versions of MacOS.

7-zip can open both the dmg disk image and the hfs file that contains the file system, dig around in that file, and you'll find the game in \MDK\MDK.app\Contents\Resources\MDK.boxer\

Really nice planning by GOG to mix in the Mac compatibility with Interplay games.

If I had a Mac and $35, I'd have no reason to not buy the entire Interplay bundle.
