prompter: How come many video games are only accessible on windows, rather than mac?

assistant: Many video games are only accessible on Windows because most developers use Windows as their development platform. This means that a lot of the code and resources used to make the game are optimized for Windows, and may not be compatible with other operating systems like Mac. Additionally, Windows also has a larger userbase than Mac, so it may be more profitable for developers to target Windows users.

assistant: Many video games are designed to be compatible with Windows operating systems, because Windows is the most widely used operating system. This means that developers are more likely to create games that are compatible with Windows, as they can reach more players. Additionally, some games may require certain hardware configurations that are not available on Mac computers.

assistant: Whilst many video game are only accessible on Windows most popular and good ones also have MacOS builds and even Linux builds. Some games that use Apple's Metal rendering API run very nicely on MacOS compared to Windows.

prompter: I really want to play Gobliiins, but it’s not available for MacOS. What should I do?

assistant: One possible solution to play Gobliiins on a macOS computer is to use an emulator. An emulator is a program that allows you to run software from one platform on another platform. In this case, you could use a DOS emulator, such as DOSBox, to run the MS-DOS version of Gobliiins on your macOS computer. DOSBox is a free and open-source emulator that can be downloaded from its official website.

To use DOSBox, you'll first need to download the MS-DOS version of Gobliiins and save it to your computer. Then, you can follow the instructions for installing and configuring DOSBox to run Gobliiins on your macOS system. Keep in mind that using an emulator may not provide the same level of performance or compatibility as running the game natively, but it's still a viable option for those who want to play older games on modern platforms.

Another option is to use a virtual machine program like VirtualBox to create a virtual machine running an older operating system like Windows 98 or XP and then install and play Gobliiins on that virtual machine. This option requires more setup time and resources, but it may provide a more authentic experience.

Finally, you could also consider playing one of the modern remakes or similar games that are available on macOS or other platforms. For example, the game Machinarium, which is available on macOS, has a similar gameplay style to Gobliiins and may be worth checking out if you enjoy puzzle games.

assistant: Sure, there are plenty of great point-and-click adventure games available for Mac! If you enjoyed Day of the Tentacle, here are a few similar games that you might also enjoy:
