![]() Perhaps such wrapper could be made for the Mac version now.Īnother solution would be, since Blizzard still has the source code for Warcraft and the Classic Games team even built a working port a while ago, perhaps they could add support for the Mac data files, making a Windows/Linux version of the game running natively at a higher resolution. The MS-DOS version was re-released by Sold-Out Software in 2002. It was released for MS-DOS in North America on 15 November 1994, and for Mac OS in early 1996. In fact, Executor developers back in the day had plans for making individual wrappers for Mac apps to make them cross-platform compatible but this never happened. Warcraft: Orcs & Humans is a real-time strategy game (RTS) developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment, and published by Interplay Productions in Europe. Theoretically, I believe that if someone took a look at the Executor code, maybe they would be able to fix the palette problem and thus make the game runnable both in DOS and Windows. The Mac demo ran in the same state (everything fine except the wrong palette) both in the Windows and DOS versions of Executor (the latter running in DOSBox). Yet otherwise the game works, I was able to complete the demo scenarios, all game mechanics work and sound effects play fine (there's no music but I can't tell if this was supposed to be like that in the demo). I was able to run the Macintosh demo in Executor, which worked almost seamlessly except the palette is garbled: Executor has been long discontinued, it is now freeware and its source code is available. WarCraft: Orcs & Humans is a Strategy video game published by Blizzard Entertainment released on 1994 for MS-DOS. 10 years later, gamers no longer command from afar, but enter the World of Warcraft. However, a while ago I found an emulator called Executor which does not have this limitation - its developers wrote workarounds for the ROM and their own equivalents of MacOS software like the file browser to facilitate running of Mac apps. World of Warcraft Released 2004 Role Playing Since 1994 the world of Warcraft has captured the souls of gamers. The problem is, most Macintosh emulators require a ROM and a copy of MacOS to work. ![]() I wonder if we could have the Macintosh version of Warcraft too, since it uses redrawn high-resolution graphics compared to the DOS version (alongside some quality of life updates in the UI department, IIRC you don't have to press Ctrl or whatever its Mac equivalent to group-select units etc.). ![]()
