Hey all,

With the first few titles available on OS X, I wonder when WC4 will be available as an OS X option (if ever).
Anyone know?

To me WC4 was the last of the great Wing Commander games. Prophecy and Privateer 2 just never captured the tone of the others.

I left the world of MS behind so long ago, I'm loath to fire up Virtual Machines to make it happen, but would consider it if patience wouldn't help.

I know this is now... years too late, but it appears we are still waiting for WC4 and Prophecy to to be able to be played on Mac. Rather awful, really, to have 1-3 and Privateer available but not 4 and Prophecy.

We've just added the DOS version of Wing Commander 4 to everyone's accounts so you should be able to use Boxxer to play the DOS version :)

Unfortunately, due to legal reasons, we cannot package the DOS version for Macs...

Awesome! Thank you! Works perfectly! Fingers crossed for Prophecy down the line someday, but the DOS version of IV is working great on the Mac.
