My 32-bit game won't start on my Mac
With the Catalina update, support for 32-bit software has been discontinued for MacOS on a system-wide basis. Once the Catalina update is installed, these titles will no longer run.
If you own a 32-bit game and wish to continue playing after the release of macOS 10.15 Catalina, you can install macOS Mojave, or another earlier version. This can be done either by not upgrading your operating system, or by installing a hard disk partition with an installation of macOS 10.14 Mojave or another earlier version (please refer to Apple's Disk Utility User Guide for more information).

This change will affect the following products:
  • Tropico 5
  • Tropico 4
  • Tropico 3
  • Dungeons 2
  • Pole Position 2012
  • Omerta: City of Gangsters
  • Wings! Remastered Edition
  • Anna

Note: Tropico 6, Dungeons 3 and Sudden Strike 4 are not affected by the Catalina update.
