I couldn't find this question posted so thought I'd ask. I'd like to be able to play games from rsgames.org or th
mac. When I try installing the 64 bit program for the mac, I get a message on my mac saying it can't be installed since there's no guarantee the software doesn't contain malware since the site itself is not secure. I'm running Mac OS Catalina. Can these games be played on the mac? Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello.
Had a question. If you open the clients, the command plus left arrow and command plus right arrow to increase and decrease the game speech engine rate doesn’t seem to work. Person is running Yosemite. Does he need to update an order for this to work?

Hi Randy. Yes, they work just fine on the Mac with Catalina. Try opening the RS Games client by hitting the Voiceover keys plus Shift plus M, and then use down arrow until you reach "open". Then hit Entewr. You should then see an option to open the client. Once the client opens, you need to turn Voiceover off. You will also need to create an account. Good luck.

Ok. Here's what I've done. I downloaded the 64 bit zip file, and when I try to open, I get a message saying it can't be opened because it can't guarantee this software doesn't have malware. I try opening the app, but don't have the option. From the page itself, I can't do anywthing to open the app. Thanks for any help.

I suggest you contact RS games about it. for what I read about on their website and when I was scrolling there twitter web, RS games has some bugs in mack OS catilina. not sure though as I play with a windows PC.
you can contact them via their website. they'd be able to help you. or if you are on twitter, you might reach out to them. I'm not at twitter :)

hello Randy,

open the .app file a second time. this process allows for the bypassing of the malware intagry file.
