ScummVM, a free emulator program by James Brown, has managed to bring several classic early and mid-90's games back to life.īased on the SCUMM/SPU game engine, the program allows the user to load the main game files cleanly into the emulator without having to resort to Mac OS X's Classic mode (which may or may not load certain game elements cleanly) and then handles the ins and outs of the game engine. In the case of games for the Mac, this logic seems applicable. Someone once posited the theory that where technology is concerned, there really are no funerals if something's good, it'll come back in one form or another given enough time.

SIMON THE SORCERER MAC EMULATOR SOFTWARE
True, this is a beta and nothing goes off without a hitch, especially in the world of software but, this is an important program and worth commenting on, even if things don't go as planned in the current version. TeamSpeex's public beta finally brings TeamSpeak network compatibility to the Mac.
Simply attach a USB microphone or headset to your Mac, remember to hold down a mappable "talk" key to speak and you're ready to go. Having just been released as a public open beta is TeamSpeex, a freeware application developed by Yun Zheng Hu that will finally allow Mac users to communicate with other players on the TeamSpeak network (thanks to and for hosting it).Ī small 416 K download, this program allows users to enter the TeamSpeak server of their choice, sign on and communicate with other players during gameplay. While these were functional substitutes that allowed players to hold voice chats with friends and teammates while playing, they never tied into the actual TeamSpeak networks themselves, so the two sides remaining divided. This is the means of control that we wanted, but was never directly offered for the Mac save for Voice over Internet Protocol such as Skype, Gizmo Project, iChat's voice chat feature and the GameRanger client (provided you signed up for a premium membership). In some corner of every Mac gamer's heart, we all want to be the one in charge, the trusted squad leader delivering half-crazed Duvall/Kilgore-esque commands to have an area bombed in Battlefield 1942 or to flank an area with snipers in Halo. Let's face it it's a cool concept to say the least.
There they were, our PC counterparts, decked out in BattleCom headsets and USB microphones, shouting orders across the Internet to teammates while occasionally stopping to laugh at the fact that the Mac lacked this feature.Īnd despite how incredibly dorky it looked, we wanted to be on TeamSpeak too.
