MacTrek is a modern version of the classic online game called Netrek. With its complete re-implementation, it offers an exciting gaming experience for Mac users.
If you're a fan of classic network games, look no further than MacTrek. This free-to-play, open source software is a complete re-implementation of the beloved game netrek. Despite being originally released three decades ago, netrek has lost none of its addictiveness - and that's just as true of MacTrek today.
The original client for Mac OS X left something to be desired, since it was a cross-platform X11 application that lacked the smooth ease of use that defines the Mac. But MacTrek aims to change that. This game is a cross-platform multiplayer hybrid game that supports up to 16 simultaneous players.
The aim of the game is simple: you and your team must capture all of the opposing team's planets. But achieving victory isn't as straightforward as it seems. MacTrek is an amalgam of "twitch" style reflexive dogfighting with extensive team play and strategy. It's a real-time strategy game with a twist.
What's new in this release? MacTrek includes a range of new features, including macro handling, the ability to read macros from file, and Rendezvous. We've also added support for sending and receiving RCD/RCM, distress keys, experimental resolution switching, improved cloaking behavior, and new graphics for the wrench, fuel and army.
All in all, if you're looking for a fun and challenging game that will keep you engaged for hours on end, MacTrek is the perfect choice. With its open source license and compatibility with a range of platforms, there's never been a better time to try it out!
