    There isn’t anyway to get Wild on its own? I got the original RCT3 for Mac when it came out.

      Hi Jason

      Unfortunately, no there isn’t. RCTC3 was ported when we were still porting to PowerPC. The expansions essentially patch this to universal and include data of the previous releases (so Soaked includes the RCTC 3 data, Wild includes the Soaked data). There wasn’t a technical way for us to make it it’s own sku. We will be doing some great discounts next weekend via FB and Twitter, so follow us there and you can probably snag a copy of Platinum at a great price.

      Thanks for the question

  • Jason Kenney

    Thanks,

    Does seem odd that the game isn’t universal (this one) since the base game ran perfectly fine on G4 MDD.

    Speaking of old games, do you guys still have the license for Alpha Centauri? Considering the high price tag for it on ebay, it would be nice to see that one re-released on game agent or something.

    A lot of that really old content we no longer have rights to, but we keep trying to resurrect them for OSX! Maybe MacApp will make a big enough case for older content.

  • Rokrad

    Will this not be available for digital download?

  • John

    It says the software is out of stock. Can we get this anywhere else? I can’t find it anywhere!

  • FromFranceReally

    Hello BogLady, I checked out Amazon.fr and surprise, there is a Platinum edition for Mac but at 54,95€ will the PC is version under 10€… A difference of 45€ !
    So just tell Glenda Adams or the other people who thought it was a good idea to “finally” publish the last expansion to stop making Mac games, and not even at this price !!!
    There is a reason why people use Boot Camp.

    My computer keeps freezing and playing over and over when I installed it! It is driving me insane! What do I do?
