A user-modified version of said installer for all Mac versions is available at this thread. See here for more info.

Windows
macOS (OS X)
In 2006, the game received Intel support - rather than making it a universal binary, however; the developers decided to use Cider for this new app.
As a result, the game is unplayable after 10.7 "Lion" due to incompatibilities.

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/208110/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (208110) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. ↑ All input settings are entirely inaccessible from the main menu.
  3. ↑ Some audio settings, such as subtitles, are inaccessible from the main menu.
