Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s heartwarming to hear SWRON was a favorite from your childhood.
Regarding Mac compatibility: Unfortunately, we don’t have plans for a Mac release at this time. While Windows maintains backward compatibility allowing our original 98SE executables to run on Windows 11, Apple’s macOS has different compatibility approaches that make running legacy software much more challenging.
It means a lot to know the game has such nostalgic value for you!
