An optional Win32 version could be had using Cygwin ... Ahh, probably not enough demand for retro-gaming. Kids today, spoiled by these newfangled 3D video cards. Bah.

I never got around to updating it as the OS's for the PC were moving around so much and I just didn't have the cash for the 4 or so PC's that you'd need to create the game... Plus, it just takes a lot of time. Ugh, I guess I'm just getting too old. Maybe someday soon... I'll get a couple of Macs and start again. -Randy Sure enough, NetTrek, for the Mac-ola only.

This page, <a href="http://www.fatlion.com/randy/nettrek.html" target="_blank">http://www.fatlion.com/randy/nettrek.html</a>, describes a bit of the history, and even hints that there was a chance of getting it resurrected for modern computers, if there was sufficient interest. NetTrek was a neat game, too ... but definitely not the same as Netrek. Netrek is a whole 'nother game ... Ahh, you’re thinking of NetTrek, which is an entirely different game.

Was the Macintosh version the same as the PC version? I never played, but my brother had a copy of the software on his old college Mac. And I do mean old. “NETREK IS DEAD”
