User lauland on M9L's sister page System 7 Today has undertaken the project to port SDL 2 to Mac OS 9. He aims to make the journey as transparent as possible to learning / documenting purposes and hopes that other developers will join in. Progress can be seen in the respective forum thread.

Regular users are also invited to help by finding good candidates for ports. We're crossing fingers - SDL2 on MacOS 9 would open up a lot of new possibilites, including things like an up-to-date ScummVM.

Looking for a fun new game for your Mac OS 9 machine? Peter Nightingale just informed us that he has released his Angry Robots! puzzle game in time for this year's holiday season. It's shareware, so you get to test it extensively before shelling out any money. The game is ready for download at the official website (Classilla compatible). Grab your favorite drink and enjoy a new 2024 game on Mac OS!
