–Update–
Zelda Classic 2.5 b1075 Released <-Article
This is the newest working version and you should try this one first.
Zelda Classic 2.5 Build 1075 (Intel Only) <-File
—-

I have always been a very big fan of the original Zelda game The Legend of Zelda. I have played it through out my life, either on my old nes, or my fc twin. However I have never really been a fan of having to find an emulator and rom every time I wanted to play it on my Mac.

    I knew it had been ported to the PC under then name Zelda Classic a few years back. However, Just recently it got ported to the Mac. Now, I don’t know about you guys. But for me, This is amazing. A cool thing about the ported version is it comes with a quest editor that allows you to essential add your own levels and story to the game. Thats purely optional though. If you just wanna play the good ol’ Zelda. Then go right a head with Zelda Classic for OS X.*

    *Note- This is the alpha version and is still slightly unstable

      Ok, After you download the file from the internet. Create A new folder in you Applications folder. Then, unzip the file and copy over all the files into the new folder. There should be a total of 5. std.zh,zquest.txt,zscript.txt,Zelda Classic,and Zquest Editor. Make sure this is all correct. If this does not work, feel free to leave another comment.

      I have the same problem as marcello and followed the directions that you provided. However, the application tries to open (appears in dock), then closes.

      Any help would be great, I’d love to play this game again!

      Thx :)

      What version of OS X are you guys running? I tried re-downloading to see if they updated it to a different version that would only work on leopard or something but it’s working fine for me.

      Same problem here. I’m running 10.4.11 and the app will not launch.

      Please continue to post suggestions or a solution. This was an exciting find and I look forward to taking it for a spin.

      I just tried playing with an earlier build (598) and it launched on 10.4.11. Maybe something in a later revision that can be scaled back?

      I believe Bob got to the bottom of the problem. My version works fine but they may have updated it and thus caused some sort of problem. It’s hard for me to help you guys cause I’m running 10.5.2 But I will keep working on it.

      I think I found the problem! I took a look at the log and it crash just after those lines :
      Used switch: -fullscreen
      Resolution not supported

      I bet every one here use a 16:10 monitor :P

      Kawazoe, I have tried changing my monitor in every way, but it did the same thing. I siggest they make a WORKING Zelda Classic that works for everyone. Because I am really dissapointed that their is finally a ZC for Mac, but doesn’t work. T_T I can’t take using Mac! My Windows computers are both broken! …Life isn’t fair at ALL.
