New Port: Contra – Operation Galuga for Mac
Who remembers the good old Contra games from the past? Well I do :) I used to play the old Contra game on my MSX2 those days. My brother liked it even more then me. Anyway’s there seems to be created a remake of the game called Contra – Operation Galuga! A new entry in the legendary Contra series is here! Contra – Operation Galuga is a thorough reimagining of the classic run-‘n’-gun action game from the ’80s, featuring modern graphics and sound, new stages, new enemies and bosses, new play mechanics, an updated weapons system, and explosive co-op combat for up to two players in Story Mode or four players in Arcade Mode!
About the Port:
The game is based on D3DMetal so it it works only on Apple Silicon Macs (I tested it myself with a an M4 Macbook Pro with 24GB RAM/VRAM), when you at least are on Mac OS 12 Monterey or higher (will be working from Mac OS 10.15.4 and higher soon). Tested the game on my M1 Apple Silicon Macbook Pro and works nicely.
This game requires at least Porting Kit 6.7.0! While the update mechanism isn’t working properly at the moment, download the latest version from the Porting Kit website here…
