Battlefield 1942 Makes It To The Mac

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the mac-users-still-game-too dept.

Tzarius writes "GameSpy has a short article that says Aspyr Media has shipped Battlefield 1942 and the Road to Rome expansion for the Mac [There's more information on system requirements and screenshots on the official Aspyr page for the game.] Surely a little prodding would get them to do that little bit more for Linux?"

  1. Native ports are the way to go! by PeteyG · · Score: 4, Informative

    I have torn my hair out trying to get games to run in Wine or WineX, but with very little real success. It is just a nightmare!

    However, I've recently acquired the Linux version of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri by Loki... and it is perfect. It installed like a dream, and there hasn't been a single problem. It could not have been easier. What Linux needs is more quality native ports like that, and if we can get BF1942, then Linux may start expanding as a native gaming platform.

    Transgamings wineX has pretty good support for battlefield1942, so i doubt there is gonna be a port.
