The Top 15 FPS games to Play Right Now With the introduction of Doom 20 years ago, the concept of first person shooter games (a.k.a FPS) was born. Since then, this genre of gaming has improved so much with new game mechanics, much more realism with new graphics engines and the like. One of the all-time great first-person shooters for the Mac is still available, and it’s available for free. You can’t call yourself a Mac gamer without having played this. Marathon broke new ground in the first-person shooter genre across all platforms, which is quite an achievement as it was only available for Mac OS.

We usually publish games that are at least 20 years old, but this time we made an exception. After so many requests, since the game is currently not available on GOG or Steam, we decided to make this gift for all the fans of GamesNostalgia. You can now play Halo, one of the best games ever created, the game made the Xbox a success.
The Windows version includes Patch 1.0.10; it supports modern video cards and all kind of screen resolutions. It works on Windows 7/10, and GameSpy support is removed (since it's not active anymore). Just run the setup and install the game. That's it.
But Mac owners will be happy too. The Mac version does not use emulators; it's the universal binary, perfectly working on Mac OSX Mojave. We also added the patch to update the game to version 2.0.4. Install the game, then install the patch and enter the serial. Alternatively, if the Universal Binary doesn't work for you, you can try HaloMD. It will allows to play Halo on your Mac in multiplayer mode, and install mods.
Time to become Master Chief and defeat the Covenants!
Note for Catalina users: MacOS Catalina removed support for 32bit apps. so Halo, like many other old games, won't work (nor the Universal or the HaloMD).
