Quake 2 is a classic 3D FPS action game for Mac OS. This is not a direct sequel to the original Quake, the second part takes place in a different world and has a completely different story. You take on the role of a Marine named Bitterman, battling the Strogg race and their leader Macron.

Game content offers to go through about forty levels, complete many tasks, finding access cards and keys. Or think a bit, uncover secret locations and access them in a fun single-player campaign following in the footsteps of other FPSs of the time.

The campaign is followed by two official additional mission sets, The Reckoning and Ground Zero. The game is also renowned for its strong community and multiplayer mode, which has largely revolutionized the concept of competitive gaming. The success of this part was also facilitated by the support for 3Dfx maps, which improved the graphics, which were already very good for those times.

Quake 2 saw a sequel to Quake III: Arena, focused exclusively on multiplayer, followed by the classic single player Quake 4, continuing the story of the second.

To properly deal with monsters, you have at your disposal a solid arsenal of weapons, which will eventually grow to ten barrels. In the beginning there is only a pistol, which, although low-powered, has unlimited ammunition. Then a shotgun, submachine gun, minigun, grenade launcher, rocket launcher are added. During the game, you should use the correct weapon for the specific situation. For example, a rocket launcher is good for long-range targets, but useless for short-range targets, because the explosion will hurt you too. In the game on Mac OS at any level of difficulty, the player is required to shoot speed and accuracy – this is the basis of the gameplay, so beloved by gamers and not outdated after many years.

Mission Packs are the continuation of the storyline of this 3D series with six stories. Besides The Reckoning and Ground Zero, there are also unofficial 1998 Juggernaut and Zaero addons.

A meteorite flies to Earth. To save humanity, it was decided to build “Arks” – bunkers that burrow deep in the ground and come to the surface when it becomes safe. They contain warehouses with supplies and people immersed in suspended animation.

The main character wakes up in one of the arks. The rest of the capsules contain long-dead bodies, and outside there is devastation and psychos seeking to kill.

After a short wandering, the survivor comes out to local resistance, which plans to overthrow the government. You can relive all these adventures with the protagonist if you Download the game.

Game process

RAGE: Campaign Edition for Mac OS is a classic first-person shooter with bloody gunfights, tons of weapons and a conventional storyline. Special attention is paid to transport. You can drive through the wastelands in an armored SUV with guns mounted on the body. There are several types of transport. At the beginning, players are given an ATV, later a buggy, more powerful vehicles are obtained during the passage. Cars can and should be improved. The necessary improvements are given according to the plot, the rest are earned in races. Race tracks are found in every major city. The types of races can be different: from simple circuit races to capturing the flag.

In RAGE, an open world is implemented with several settlements in it and a heap of enemy bases, dungeons and ruins. Each city has an NPC who will happily give a side quest or play a local card game.

The arsenal of weapons is varied and undergoing some improvements. Each barrel has several types of ammunition. You can also independently collect some devices (like mines and turrets) from the scrap at hand.

There is an interesting respawn mechanic. As it turns out after a fatal wound, the hero has nano-machines in his blood. With their help, you can return to the battle a limited number of times and at the same time strike nearby enemies with an electric discharge. The return process looks like a mini-game, the quality of which depends on the amount of health restored.

Enemies boast variety. First, the player is greeted by half-naked bandits of various stripes; in the middle of the game, well-armed government special forces will increasingly meet.

Race Driver: Grid is a car racing simulator for Mac OS from the developer Codemasters, released in 2008. There is no plot in the game as such, instead a career mode is provided. The player acts as a professional race car driver. To advance in your career, you need to win, move from league to league, attract sponsors and the attention of the audience.

Game process

The game has a rich fleet of vehicles and a variety of racing disciplines. All cars and companies represented are licensed. Each discipline assumes a ride on a specific class of cars, ranging from regular production models to GT and Formula 1 models.

Competitions are held in three regions: USA, Japan and Europe. Three leagues await the player on each territory, one super final for everyone. Each territory differs not only in appearance, but also in the type of race. So, in the United States, drivers will find fashionable derbies and circuit races, in Europe – high-speed F-1 races, and in Japan, drift and duels. Nobody forces you to participate in all disciplines, you can freely choose those races that are interesting. After taking the championship in the league in all nominations, the champion will challenge, after which a duel will follow.

The damage model plays an important role in Race Driver: Grid on Mac OS, it is not only cosmetic in nature, but also significantly affects the driving characteristics. A strong blow can easily take a competitor out of the race. In case of departure from the track, you will not be able to press the “return” button; instead, the developers have implemented the Flashback mechanics. This feature allows you to scroll back a little time and correct your mistake.

Sponsors play an important role in a career. Logos of various companies can be placed on the car body. For this, the team receives additional reputation points and money. The size and location of the sticker affects the size of the bonus. Also sponsors set additional conditions. Basically, to complete them, you need to come in the first three.

Over time, you can hire other pilots to the team. They are AI controlled and participate in races. The results of artificial drivers also bring reward points and reputation.

You don’t have to play exclusively on your team. You can Download the simulator, and conclude one-time contracts with other teams and act on their side. Such actions bring points to the personal reputation of the rider. The controls are quite realistic and assumes the presence of a steering wheel, but the developers have introduced wide settings that allow you to play comfortably with the keyboard.

Railroad Tycoon 3 is an economic strategy game on Mac OS by Pop Top Software that was released in 2003. The main emphasis in the gameplay is placed on the development of railways in different periods of time. There are several scenarios to choose from, in each of which certain conditions must be met.

The tasks of the scripts are very different. In some scenarios, you just need to build a railway line, thus connecting two cities, in others, in addition to building tracks, you need to build factories and entire cities. Unlike the previous part of the series, new buildings built by the player are displayed on the strategic map.

The economic model is not as simple as it might seem upon a cursory examination. Plotting paths connecting points on the map should take into account many factors. It is necessary to form production chains. So, enterprises producing raw materials must be connected with factories and factories, which, in turn, are required to ensure the supply of finished products to the consumer. If you Download the strategy and build the production chains correctly, then the production will bring a good profit.

It is allowed not only to organize the delivery of goods between enterprises, but also to build these enterprises. This greatly simplifies life and makes the gameplay more flexible and varied. Railroad Tycoon 3 for Mac OS will be especially different from its predecessors in the domestic financial market. In addition to making a profit from transportation, you can get money through trading in the company’s shares.

The world is constantly changing. The economy is unstable and constantly leaps from rapid development to deep recession. To maximize profits and reduce losses, it is important to constantly adjust to changing market conditions.

Progress also does not stand still. If at the beginning simple, low-power steam locomotives are available, then over time they are replaced by huge steel monsters puffing with smoke and fast electric locomotives.

Buyer requests also change over time. If earlier the factories consumed crude oil, now they require refined oil. New routes and production chains need to be established to meet demand.

The player’s company is not a monopoly on the market. Competitive firms make the game much more difficult. But if the competition does not look attractive, you can play without them. For this there is a special item in the settings, where you can also specify their number.

Rainbow Six: Vegas for Mac OS revolves around an unidentified terrorist threat. After a tragic mission in Mexico, the newly formed task force is hastily sent to the city of gambling – sleepless Las Vegas. Terrorists attacked casinos and luxury hotels. Many of their visitors have been killed, some are being held hostage, others are facing execution. A squad of three is sent on a difficult mission to rescue victims, at the end of which it will become a little clearer what is at stake.

The strike team will always remain the same: Commander Logan Keller, Explorer Jung Park, and Obstacle Demolition Specialist Michael Walter. The naive idea of ​​the creators is surprising, that against hundreds of well-armed terrorists are three lonely special forces without any support, who are independently forced to look for ammunition in order to be able to fight at all.

In total, players are waiting for six long-term large missions. Each consists of two to four parts, and thanks to the difficulty levels of the game, you can count on at least twelve hours of gameplay in campaign mode alone. In addition, there is a “Terrorist Hunt” mode, co-op and multiplayer modes.

Even at normal level, two or three hits or a precise shot from a shotgun is enough to knock you to the ground. On the extra “realistic” difficulty, every mistake, every careless move costs life. As for automatic checkpoints, the game becomes a real test in some locations, but at the same time it does not cross the line. We can say that the developers have correctly balanced the optimal limit on the number of checkpoints – there are not many and not a few of them. The average player who decides to Download this game will not have serious problems at the first level of difficulty, but in realistic mode, he may die too often.

You will be pleasantly surprised by the unit’s tactical capabilities. Descent upside down, penetration into the room and, in general, the preparation of the raid is close to what real anti-terrorist units do. All you need to do is to mark using a camera or otherwise find out the situation inside the room, mark targets for the charges and give the order to action. Naturally, you choose the method and direction of the attack, so you are happy to watch the chaos reigning in the ranks of the enemies when you attack them from both sides at the same time. Vegas on Mac OS brings a dynamic to the Rainbow Six series that it lacked.

Rayman Origins is a platformer for Mac OS that is part of the popular series. The scenario of this game is actually announced by an introductory video, which examines the situation in detail. The beginning is quite funny: a group of friends snored loudly during sleep, which caused indignation among the dead. They lashed out at Rayman, Globox, Tincy, and Dream Bubble. During sleep, the heroes were tormented by nightmares. The main character, Rayman, found a way out of the situation, and for this he needs to collect electuns and save the Meadow of Dreams from trouble. Globox, Tinsey, Murphy, Mosquitoes and Nymphs will help the hero in the implementation of the task.

To find out where the threat is coming from, Rayman needs to get to Mysterious Peak. It is from this location that he understands that the main threat comes from Gloomy Clouds. The main character has to open a portal, but this action is only possible for the kings of all lands. The problem is they have been turned into monsters. Rayman and company save them and teleport to Gloomy Clouds. There they are met by Tincy the traitor. The character cannot give Rayman any practical advice, but warns of the consequences of further travel. According to the magician, the clouds can go into a rage and kill the main characters.

Rayman doesn’t listen to Tincy and continues on the Mosquito ride. Finding the city, the heroes stumble upon the leader of the traitors. He uses the airship to hide from Reiman in the clouds of the city. After a short time, the heroes heard the sound of an explosion, due to which they fall on the Snorer Tree. Once on it, friends fall asleep.

The entire gameplay consists of passing through beautiful and mysterious places with various difficulty levels. Rayman Origins on Mac OS is divided into two logical parts: finding and freeing the fairies, and then finding the kings of the lands. There are bonuses scattered across the game map: electuns and lums. The game is an adventure game in which the available bonuses are collected along the way. Also, the gamer will have to confront many enemies.

One of the main requirements for the player is the accuracy of jumping. The first levels are easy enough, but with each new map you will have to make a lot of effort to reach the finish line. The game does not put restrictions on attempts, but then the level will throw gamers back to the very beginning, without the possibility of replaying a specific moment. For this reason, difficult levels stretch over several hours. Joint play with friends makes the passage much more interesting, so click Download, and hurry up to start the passage.

The Rayman series moved to 3D from the second part. Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc for Mac OS also followed suit. The graphics in it are not as cute as in the first game, but they are still remembered and convey their favorite style. Everything is depicted colorfully and vividly.

Together with Rayman, the player will visit different worlds: mysterious forests, swamps, underground caves, the underwater world and many other interesting places. The environment changes as you progress through the game. In each episode, consisting of several levels, the player finds himself in a new environment. Rayman travels between worlds using a device that allows him to travel through time and space. The protagonist, riding a skateboard, rushes along a multi-colored, flashing tunnel, where you need to jump over narrow platforms and not fall through.

The camera in the game, which can be download on this site, works ambiguously. Sometimes she behaves very well, and in some situations she looks uncomfortable. Sometimes it is impossible to consider where to run or who to attack. The camera is rotated with the mouse, or with the help of special keys, but often this is completely useless – it automatically returns to an uncomfortable angle.

Rayman fights exclusively with his fists. He can also shoot his hand at a certain distance, while the force of the blow is determined by the time the key is pressed. In addition to fists, Rayman can apply several found bonuses. He gets them only for a limited time from the multi-colored cans that fall for freeing prisoners or killing enemies.

The green jar allows you to launch small tornadoes that can easily cut through the base of some platforms. The red jar provides crushing power that can easily break open a barred door. With yellow, you can fly with a propeller for a while. Blue gives Rayman steel claws on chains, allowing him to jump long distances. And finally, thanks to the orange can, you can launch and control small rockets.

The atmosphere of the game on Mac OS is not only graphics and combat system, but also musical accompaniment. The soundtrack here is definitely high quality. The statements of enemies towards the character are striking. The giant monsters that the player meets in the underground tunnels continue to shout: “Break his bones” or argue about which of them has the best father. Globox constantly screams in fright, Razoff talks to himself, and the doctors joke. This makes Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc unique and immersive in the atmosphere of the gaming world.

Real Boxing for Mac OS is a real find for lovers of good old boxing.

After all, the elaboration of the characters and the surrounding space simply amazes the imagination, and creates the impression of high-quality video recording.

The game includes not only battles, but also long grueling workouts that will help the character become sufficiently prepared for battles with serious opponents. Such training includes a series of mini-games, each of which increases a certain parameter of the character. This can be jumping rope, training with a punching bag and practicing various strokes. The acquired skills will allow the character to master new attacks and significantly improve the existing ones, as well as increase the skills of strength, speed and endurance.

There are over twenty opponents in the game on Mac OS, each with a unique set of strikes and defensive techniques. All of them must be defeated to obtain the coveted title of champion. But it is not enough just to get the title, it must still be confirmed and retained. Therefore, you cannot stop daily grueling workouts and enjoy a well-deserved rest. The character must continue to develop and prepare him for the upcoming battles with experienced opponents.

The graphics of the fight process are worked out so well that it seems as if this is an ordinary boxing match broadcast on TV. The animation and sound effects are very high quality for a complete immersion in the gameplay, so Download Real Boxing is definitely worth it. The player will be able to see every swing and blow of his character, as well as feel phantom pain, missing the enemy’s attack. Despite the clear advantages of playing with a controller, playing on the keyboard is only slightly inferior to it and does not affect the quality of the gameplay.

A separate delight for gamers is the multiplayer mode of the game in real time. Many gaming sports fans have had the opportunity to compete with their peers around the world to find out who is the best. Here you can see unique combinations of blows and unusual pumping systems for your character.
