Hello,
that classic games are now available for Mac, is really great. I think the games run in a DOS box type? Would it be possible to offer the original "UFO: Enemy Unknown" and "XCom: Terror from the Deep" for Mac? Both games were well worth their money. ;)

Greetings eJUNKI3

Yeah, right now, the thing to do is to put them on the wishlist. The classic X-Com series is hugely in demand here (with the exception I'm sure of some games like Interceptor and Enforcer), so I'm sure that GOG is aware that people really want these games.

If you're impatient, you can buy the games right now off of GamersGate, run the Windows installers in Wineskin or CrossOver, and then import the game files into Boxer. That's pretty much what I did, and all of the DOS-based X-Com games run great for me.

thx @rampancy, i don't know boxer and search for it. Great stuff, love it. now i can play many, many good old DOS games. I've got more than 250 original old Games, from my time before i switch to Mac. ;)

And the funny thing is, with the help of WINE (either through CrossOver or Wineskin) and DOSBox, you can still continue to enjoy them on your Mac...
