Thanks for sharing this QS! Unfortunately I can't launch it - Finder says, "You do not have permission to open the application". Terminal says, "Operation not permitted". It does not show up in the usual Sys Prefs Gatekeeper "allow it anyway" list either. Any ideas?
Hi there, so sorry about this - it appears to be a problem with Big Sur. I googled "You do not have permission to open the application" and saw others with the same issue for other apps, and found a few (easy!) suggestions on how to fix it.
Again, sorry about this, but I've stuck to Catalina and tested it on that and an even older OS and it works fine, so I think Big Sur might be the issue.
I assume this will be the same for all my Mac games, so if you find a working solution please do let me know and I'll gladly add it to the description so others can fix bypass this too!
Ah, I see! Thank you very much for looking into it. Apple make you jump through so many hoops these days, I swear it’s easier to get 30+ year old Spectrum tapes to load first time! Speaking of which, I’m away to give Last Train to Tranz Central another blast. Thanks again for sharing your work. Cheers!
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will put a warning at the end of each game's description so that others are aware! I certainly wasn't! I've tested on Sierra and Catalina but I'm loathe to 'upgrade' to Big Sur because things do end up being broken for a while :O
I hope you can get the game working, and if you do, I'd appreciate a link to what worked for you! In the meantime, yes, it's a LOT easier to get Speccy games working! Thanks for giving Last Train a go! :D
Hiya, thanks for your interest. I'm going to flat out say 'No PC version' - not because I don't want to, but because the software used to make the game 10 years ago doesn't export to that.

PC version possible? Don't have a MAC.
