UFO Enemy Unknown (Universal).dmg

UFO Enemy Unknown (X-COM: UFO Defense) for Mac OS X Universal Binary This is a classic DOS game made to work seamlessly with Mac OS X a la Cider style. Using latest (0.72) official DOSBox build. There are no configuration files, command lines, installs and whatnot. Just like Mac is supposed to be! Mount, copy to hard drive and play. Tested on Intel Leopard 10.5.5. For those of you, who'd like to create their own bundles using DOSBox, it's pretty straightforward. Show package contents and replace game files in Resources directory, edit dosbox.conf accordingly (pay attention to last section) and also edit Info.plist and finally create an icon (img2icns comes in handy here). And don't forget to share!! :) Ppl using different systems like Tiger and ppc, please give feedback. Cheers to DOSBox team!

Verified working on PPC 10.5.5 THANKS
Very impressed about your dosbox.conf file with mounting the C drive, didn't knew it was possible
I always used, for example with this game,
mount c "/Applications/UFO Enemy Unknown/Contents/Resources/UFO/"
but that would let you only running it if your game is located in the Applications folder, your config file works everywhere, and I also didn't knew you could leave all that unused stuff from the config file :)
Can you tell me what the dosbox_wrapper does?

On PPC Mac OS 4.11 does not work.

If I'm not mistaking fak-it, for the Tiger users you've got to set Mac OS X Development target to 10.4

Thanks, CodeNameBender.
The thing with OSX bundles is that there is no way to pass command line arguments to the app and also working directory is set to /. That is what dosbox_wrapper does, changes directory to Bundle.app/Contents and runs DOSBox with -conf argument. Oh, and I linked ppc version against 10.3.9, so it should run on Tiger aswell.
Miobamiubamiub: Can you please paste and error report and be a little more specific ?

CodeNameBender (2008-12-17)

So you've written that executable to do the / thingie... Nice work :) I think it could be also done with an applescript or a shellscript but then you would need to make an applet and when you open it you'll open 2 apps etc etc... so this is probably the best way :D
Can't help you with the Tiger thing then, I can only confirm it works with Leopard 10.5.5 PPC

I really loved this game on PC, but haven't been able to find a version that is stable under Win Xp. Sadly, it doesn't seem to run well in OSX 10.4.11 either. Maybe something in the configuration?

VierasMarius (2008-12-17)

Okay, I'm a schmuck. I just couldn't save because I was playing from a virtual cd drive. =P
Thanks for the great upload!

Many thanks

Thanks for this great game!
I found a minor glitch however: the alien bases are buggy.
Seems as if some rooms are lacking textures or something... was this the case in the original game when it was shipped?
Otherwise everything works well.

Hmm.. It asks me for a code right after I've chosen language in the game.. .. ..
Any help on that one..!?

Oh my GAHD please seed! This is one of my favourite games of all time!

Do u know where I can download X:com terror from the deep? Can't find it anywhere

Sadly, the base map glitch makes the game widely unplayable about halfway through. As soon as you get into an alien base, that is.
