I compiled bin2iso from source for all the mac users out there. For some reason bin2iso is not in macports.

Here is a blast from the past…way back past… I loaded OpenSuSE 11 on my G4 Cube and remembered I had a few of the old Loki Games. Here are the games with ports to Alpha/PPC/SPARC: [Civilization: Call to Power ](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization:_Call_to_Power) Myth II: Soulblighter Railroad Tycoon II Eric’s Ultimate Solitaire Heroes of Might and Magic III It is mind boggling that at this point in Linux history (2000-2002) that someone decided to port these! The great thing about GCC and SDL is cross compiling is pretty simple. With that said supporting these must have been a nightmare for Loki.
