Play Standoff and Secret Ops on OS X Mavericks
Forums member wcnut noticed that his easy-to-use Mac launcher for Standoff and Secret Ops no longer works on the latest release of OS X. He's put together a new bundle that includes a newer version of the Wine emulator, and now everything runs smoothly again on OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Grab it here (706MB).
Mac gamers have been able to play Windows games for a while now using Wine, an open-source Windows API emulation layer for Unix/Linux/OSX, but it's typically a somewhat long and complex process to set up.
Using existing tools and some help from other Mac gamers on the web, forums regular wcnut made his own Mac wrapper app for both Secret Ops and Standoff ! That means playing those games is now as easy as clicking on the package file (.DMG), dragging the Secret Ops and Standoff icons whereever you want it stored on your Mac and click to play ! No more complicated Wine and application setup.
