How To Use Wineskin To Play Games On Mac

Posted on  by 

If BeamNG Drive ever comes out on Mac, I allow admins to ban me if I don't buy it. I know it's because of CryEngine 3, and it's not anybody else's fault that there isn't a Mac port, but in the meantime I tried playing the tech demo using Wineskin. Jan 20, 2018 Wineskin is a tool used to 'wrap' Windows games so that they can be run on Mac OS X. We have used it to prepare the Mac versions of the Windows games you can find on this site. This means if you have updated your Mac to Hi Sierra, it's possible that you can't play games like Disney's Hercules, Pharaoh, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure and more.
