Review Note:
Best way by far to play Blue Shift. Runs much better at times than Xash 3D, better mod support, better textures (Not even the HD pack!)

Review Note:
I just made everything max. This game is from 1998 and the source version works entirely when using the Xash3D FWGS from macsourceports. Runs via the same method as Half-Life (base)
