RCT 5.x is a "univeral" OSX application meaning it runs native on either Intel or PowerPC based Macs.
Below is an actual screen shot of a fully functional Chameleon 3 from RCT for OS X. Notice the metal background and "aquafied" and updated interface.
Cross-grade options for registered RCT users
RCT for Mac OS X is a totally new software program for a completely new platform. As most Mac users are aware,
OS X is based on a UNIX core. This a truly great platform combining Macintosh ease of use with the stability of UNIX, but
with a price. Software developers must rewrite large portions of thier applications to run on OS X, and RCT is no exception. The rewrite
of RCT for OS X took even more work than our 1998 rewrite (aka "port") to Microsoft Windows. In addition to many months of programming,
Dean Reyburn spent 3 days at Apple Computer headquarters
in Cupertino California, working intensively with Apple engineers to port and optimize RCT for OS X.
For this reason if you wish to move from RCT for Mac Classic to OS X, your move to RCT for OS X is a "cross-grade", not a mere upgrade. In other words,
you're changing platforms when you move from Mac Classic to MacOS X and the prices below reflect the immense
amount of work which went into this software port.
RCT 5.x for OS X requires MacOS X 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard or 10.7 Lion. All upgrades and cross-grades on this page include both Intel/PowerPC versions. Cross-grade and upgrade prices are for registered RCT users only.
