Post subject: GUI Mac Client?
Archived from groups: rec>games>empire (more info?)
I've searched around and it appears this question hasn't been asked
since 2003, sorry if I missed anything.

I'd like to play Empire, and I'm running Mac OSX. I'd like to find a
good GUI client.

Has anyone managed to get PTkEI working on a modern Mac? I see it
hasn't been updated since 2003.

Are there other, perhaps better, linux, etc., clients which I could run
with OSX? Does anyone have any experience setting something like this
up? Recommendations for particular clients I should try out?

Thank you!

Client development and maintenance is a lot of work. The only clients
that are keeping up with the server enhancements are Empclient
(textbased for windows or unix) and WinACE (windows). Ptkei
and other clients only have sporatic enhancement. We are always
looking for volunteers.

An alternative solution would be to install Winace on a virtual Windows
running on your Mac.
The only software I'm aware of still being able to be installed on a Mac to
do this is this one: http://www.parallels.com/
