Great! Unfortunately I only have Planescape: Torment, does anyone know the status of this game? Also, is there a compile tutorial for OSX?

 

Thanks!

Due to the hack that is the engine behind pst, only a few early levels are playable currently.

 

Compiling on osx should be pretty much the same as elsewhere. The last time someone tried, there was a problem with their libvorbis though, but since that plugin is not needed for the original game data, you can just skip it.
