The author mentions it in passing, and I do wish Starcraft/Broodwar and Warcraft III were open-sourced. Blizzard has understandably chosen to stop updating both games for newer Mac architectures (there is no build for Intel Macs for either, and thus no support for OSX 10.7+). The community would be happy to port the games to new platforms, increasing the popularity of the lucrative franchises.
- barbs 14y agoI believe you meant the first Starcraft. I'd also love for these games to be open-sourced, along with the first Diablo, though I'm pretty sure WC3 and SC are still making money for them. Also, here's a blog post I wrote on how to get these games working on OSX 10.7+ using Windows builds and Wineskin (shameless plug) http://marzzbar.wordpress.com/2012/11/06/how-to-play-classic-blizzard-games-on-mac-os-x-mountain-lion/ http://marzzbar.wordpress.com/2012/11/06/how-to-play-classic...
- jacoblyles 14y agoYep! I meant SC/Broodwar. Also, throw in Diablo II to that list. And great blog post! Thanks for that. I tried using wineskin for Starcraft before but got a little lost. I'll give your walkthrough a try. Sometimes I feel like playing a classic campaign to take a break from laddering on SC2.
