Boxer VS scummvm

Other comments are talking about how it's not in scope, which is unfortunate for this case, but since you loved the app, I poked around and found a quite active fork! Unsure how functional it is, but it seems to have gotten quite a bit of love: https://github.com/MaddTheSane/Boxer

no. but check out boxer.

For MacOS, Boxer (http://boxerapp.com/) is great. It creates executables (distributable with zero dependencies) that include dosbox and the app to run - the creation is super easy too. Dosbox footprint is very small. It’s just amazing to double click and start the app or game without having to worry about setting up dosbox.

Here's the port: https://github.com/MaddTheSane/Boxer

You can play the DOS version of Fallout 1 using DOSBox. I recommend Boxer which makes things much easier.

u/d10sfan has added ScummVM port for Sanitarium to Luxtorpeda repos. Thanks to that, modern port of the game can be played as a Steam game.

SCUMM VM is now like that, plenty of Point and Click games https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm

It's a long shot, but some old games are available via https://www.scummvm.org/

Ultima 6 - I use ScummVM to play it. It's a great engine that provides a layer of UI compatibility over the game.

The game is "Beneath A Steel Sky", an old school point and click adventure. And though the graphics are pixel style, they are still very well done, and the game and story are still great. The emulator is ScummVM. There's some other games that were released as freeware.

ScummVM, which has been working on Adobe Director support, can detect the game (thank you @mistydemeo <3), but trying to run it will softlock you on the game's title screen, unable to click anything. It's likely this will be fixed in the future, but for now I can't recommend it for this particular game.
