They have Mac support to some of those too (mostly the older games)...

Yeah, it looks like pretty much all of the ones I picked up come with a custom version of Dosbox.  So if you can get dosbox to run on your operating system, you can probably play these games. (I'm going to see if I can get them to run on my phone, which has dosbox installed!)

Thanks for the heads up.  I never knew there was a sequel to Crusader.

It's the same old DOSbox that you can download at dosbox.com. The only thing different is that the config is set to auto-launch the game.

I believe there is a DOSbox for MAC's, but I don't now if you'll be able to run the GOG installer to get the games files; or has GOG fixed this for MAC users since the last time I purchased a game there?

gog always has great sales.  I have downloaded tons of games that I haven't really gotten around to touching.  At 2-5 bucks a pop it is not a big lose and they are almost always top quality titles.

I'm pretty sure most (if not all) of the games I purchased had a Mac download.  I'm guessing it's just the Mac version of dosbox.

Thanks for the heads up, I can't believe I got Wing Commander 1-4 for 7 measly bucks.

Thanks a lot for posting this.  Syndicate is one of my all-time favorite games, and it's running smooth as can be on my Mac.  I might have to download a few more games.
