Game description:
It’s the year 1400- the late Middle Ages. Europe sees the dawn of the golden age of the new departures and the free spirit. Under the rule of the bourgeoisie and businessmen, more and more towns are emerging from the clutches of the aristocracy and are achieving independence, power and wealth. New businesses are flourishing, bringing financial strength and political influence to a growing economy.

However, life in the narrow, overpopulated alleyways and streets of the towns also has its downsides: epidemics and diseases are spreading, and thieves and highwaymen lie in wait to get their piece of the wealth. Now you can try your hand in these exciting times of change. Will you head down the path of an honest craftsman or a dubious priest? It’s your choice.

Another golden oldie has been added to Porting Kit!! Metal Fatigue for Mac has been added to Porting Kit. The game was added into the GOG.com catalog a few weeks back, and now it’s also available in Porting Kit. The game reminds me on Dune 2000. The game works flawless on one exception, and that is, that the max resolution to play the game is 1024×768 (if you change it to higher ones, the game won’t work), which is of course more then enough to play this game splendidly.  Enjoy the game!

Install is Simple:
1. Get Porting Kit or Crossover if you don’t have it yet.
2. Then download the GOG.com setup file from Metal Fatigue from GOG (Remember to download the “offline backup setup files”) into your download folder.
3. Then in Porting Kit search the game in the library –> server tab and click install.
4. After installation of the game, “exit” the GOG installer.
5. Click “Play” to start the game! Have fun!

Game description:
Metal Fatigue is a real-time strategy game taking the genre to new heights – literally. Build and customize your massive Combots to dominate the three battlefield levels simultaneously – from orbit, to the surface, and even underground! Develop your base and command your forces carefully – the enemy can appear from any direction, including above and below!

Wrapper update Civcity Rome and Myst URU Chronicles!

On March 19, 2018   /   News, Portingkit, Strategy, Wrapper updates   /   Comments Off on Wrapper update Civcity Rome and Myst URU Chronicles!
Wrapper update Civcity Rome and Myst URU Chronicles!

We do wrapper updates al the time, but when there are some significant updates we try to post them on the blog as much we can. So here the update for Civcity Rome ! The game needs core fonts, but the Porting Kit somehow failed the fonts trick into the wrapper, which caused you not to see the fonts in-game. With the latest Porting Kit version this is solved! So update Porting Kit (using the top bar menu –> check for updates) to fix the issue.

Myst URU Complete Chronicles had an issue concerning launch probably cause in one of the installer updates of GOG.com. This is fixed to now and doesn’t need an Porting Kit update. Refresh the server tab and make sure the GOG.com setup file is in the download folder and install the game and play

Great news! Close Combat 4 – Battle of the Bulge for Mac is added to Porting Kit!

So here is the second post for Close Combat 4 – Battle of the Bulge. Both games works great although in 800×600 resolution only and you have to disable in-game videos to prevent trouble. So make sure to de-select that in the game launcher and start the fun!

2. Then download the GOG.com setup file from Close Combat 4 from GOG into your download folder.
