Off topic, I wanted to compare it to the original, wanted to run that in Boxer.app[1] and realized that this software is now unmaintained. That’s unfortunate, it was a nice product with good UX. Also, unapologetically skeuomorphic, like many apps of that era. [1]: http://boxerapp.com/ http://boxerapp.com/

Dos won't cut it for H3; it's wine territory and wine is a pain to use on mac, as Apple killed it with the move to Catalina

  Personally, UTM with a Windows XP VM worked for me (I'm on Apple Silicon, so Wine was a no go from the start).

  Wine works fine on Mac -- see https://www.reddit.com/r/wine_gaming/comments/1599bm1/does_wine_work_for_macos_ventura/ https://www.reddit.com/r/wine_gaming/comments/1599bm1/does_w... for the Gcenx packages that work.

  I recently started running HOMM3 HD on my Mac with Porting Kit, which has been working great: https://www.portingkit.com/game/236 https://www.portingkit.com/game/236 .

Other comments are talking about how it's not in scope, which is unfortunate for this case, but since you loved the app, I poked around and found a quite active fork! Unsure how functional it is, but it seems to have gotten quite a bit of love: https://github.com/MaddTheSane/Boxer https://github.com/MaddTheSane/Boxer
