The game is pretty old, which is reflected in the old code base. It doesn't optimize for modern CPUs well, so WINE/Crossover handles it just fine. Except for it being slightly glitchy and crashing now and again. The Mac version for older versions of Mac OS had an included WINE layer, but you need Crossover for newer MacOS or for the new Mac CPUs. And Crossover is a lifetime license with pretty good support behind it, so not too bad of a deal. We don't play latest/greatest games, not too worried about trying to play Witcher 3 or whatever on it.
