Good Old Games is a digital video game reseller that has grown to prominence through repackaging older titles so that they run without issue on modern operating systems. Today, the company put a smile on the faces of OS X gamers by making a chunk of their retro-centric catalog playable on Macs, starting today.
The site was rebranded to GOG.com. OS X and Linux support. In October 2012, GOG.com was announced to be bringing DRM-free games to OS X. This included the previously Steam exclusive (OS X version) The Witcher and The Witcher 2, both made by CD Projekt Red. Oct 17, 2012 GOG.com supports Mac OS X. We're bringing a part of our massive catalog of all-time classics to Mac, starting with an impressive 50 titles for Mac gamers to play and enjoy. 28 of the 50 titles, the best games in history, including Syndicate, Ultima series, or Wing Commander, will be playable on the Mac OS X for the first time ever-exclusively on GOG.com.
The announcement indicates there are 50 titles immediately available on Apple hardware, including some heavy hitters like Syndicate and Wing Commanders 1 & 2. More Mac-compatible titles will soon follow on the service.
It was possible to get most GOG titles to run on OS X prior to today's announcement, though it required a bit of fiddling. For DOSBox-bundled titles, for instance, you could only play them on OS X after first extracting and running the GOG-provided installer in Windows, then transplanting the resulting DOSBox game into OS X and running it under DOSBox (or the awesome Boxer).
To check out the new OS X compatibility, Ars purchased Crusader: No Remorse, a DOS-era isometric perspective shooter from Origin (creators of the Wing Commander and Ultima series of games, among others). The GOG purchase page for the game contains direct links to not just the game's installer in Mac DMG format, but also the manual and other pack-in materials:
The DMG file opens to a Finder window which contains the actual game bundle and a shortcut to your /Applications folder:
After dragging the app bundle to the shortcut, double-click to launch it. The DOSBox emulator options are pre-tuned so that the game plays optimally; no configuration file fiddling is necessary. You just launch and play.
This level of integration with OS X is well worth the cost of the games. Mac retro-gamers can certainly hand-bundle their older games and pull together an equivalent experience, but GOG has done all that for you already. Additionally, the downloadable manuals and other pack-ins add a tremendous amount of value, saving you from scrounging search engines for badly scanned copies.
Despite the name, some of the good old games GOG sells aren't really that old. Still, the site's biggest draw is its large back-catalog of classic games, which GOG bundles with open source tools like DOSBox to make them function on current operating systems. Additionally, every game GOG sells, be it new or old, is sold DRM-free. Unlike abandonware sites that usually offer cracked copies of out-of-date games for grey-market downloading, GOG has forged relationships with most major publishers and offers the titles for sale legally. It also supplies high-quality scans of the games' original documentation, including 'feelies' like maps and other pack-in items where possible. The site does an excellent job of filling a long-unfulfilled niche role as a back-catalog distributor for gaming software.
Even after the arrival of Steam support, the Mac gaming landscape can still be a bit sparse. GOG's presence on OS X is a welcome one, and we look forward to more and more of its catalog becoming available.

Death Road to Canada is a Randomly Generated Road Trip Simulator. You control and manage a car full of jerks as they explore cities, recruit weird people, argue with each other, and face gigantic swarms of slow zombies.
Death Road is built for replay value. Everything is randomized: locations, events, survivor appearances and personalities. There’s a different story every time you play, set in a world that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
