    Has Microsoft put out a version of MSTS for the Mac? If not, do they plan to, or does it support open GL?

    I've worn out Railroad Tycoon 2 and still don't have space for a pike so I'm looking for a new form of railroad related distraction.

    I have heard of no plans for a Mac release. Yes it takes open GL to run it along with DirectX.

    Actually, MSTS uses Direct3D, not OpenGL.

    After doing some looking, the fact that it is a D3D game is the reason why there is no (and will be no) Mac version. Do D3D games work with PC emulators?
