Is Mojave the new Snow Leopard?

         Unless it's an incredibly good year for new Mac games (and when did that ever happen?) it's going to be mighty slim pickings when macOS 10.15 rolls around. Pretty much the bulk of what will be left that are already 64-bit will be the online games. Don't get me wrong, some of these games are fantastic, but I happen to be the type that often prefers to not interact with other people who are a bajillion times better than I am. I prefer a bot I can tailor to my own skill level and kick its butt more than fifty percent of the time. Working on my own city or civilization without worrying about how great someone else is doing is my definition of relaxation.

         Feral Interactive and Aspyr have been the companies that have made the past ten years tolerable in Mac gaming. They're continuing to work on new projects that are 64-bit and run on Metal, but it is just not going to happen that they'll be able to update all of their old catalog. The best we can hope for is that they'll be able to ferry new titles into the 2020's. Can we please encourage more companies to come up with Mac titles simultaneously. We can't expect Feral and Aspyr to do everything.

         Apple, it's the games that will be holding back your totally 64-bit transition. It's a great idea and no one's going to not transition so they can keep using Office 2011. No one uses DOSBox to type out a paper in Word for DOS they use it to play NHL '94. You get my point, it's the games that have the staying power. If there isn't incentive to move on, there may be many people staying with Mojave for many years to come.

         Ok, back to my 2008 iMac with Snow Leopard installed to play a quick few games of Star Wars: Battlefront and Halo: Combat Evolved.
