Solace On The Mac

In this article I am revisiting the game Solace that was released in 2003 for the Mac by Freeverse. This article is part of a series checking back in on some of the classic games for the Mac and how they play on modern computers. The game follows rules along he line of the classic board game Axis and Allies. The games allows you to play a range of combinations of teams or all one on one games. It has the ability to play by email and over a local network. The game play is still solid and there are ay number of reviews out there for you to get details on the

Technically the game still plays well on most mac hardware but does not follow some of the conventions that I like. It does not support anything other than full screen mode, which is real disadvantage and enough to turn some people off the game. Especially those who want to sneak in a few turn but might need to jump back to their other applications at an time.

Sound and video are good but the game could stand to support higher video resolutions. The graphics still have a current feel and don't make the game feel dated. As you would expect the game plays fairly fast on current machines. I did not find Solace to be crash prone at all.

Keep in mind that there is a good fee demo of the game that allows you to play for 30 launches of the game. So if you missed it the first time around the game is worth another look all these years later.
